I am pretty squeamish around blood (even reading about it...), but this piece was so well written and engrossing and impactful that I made it all the way through in one shot. I had no idea that the bovie instrument (and broadly the entire field of electrosurgery [1]) was even a thing; I assumed it was anll still scalpels and such.
An incredible piece highlighting something people should know more about; thanks for posting this!
