George M�lies made a version of this a few years later, often titled Une Indigestion, but Guy-Blach�s earlier film Chirurgie Fin de Siecle (1900) is more widely available. And it�s not one to watch the night before an operation. In this clinic, a sign pleads �On est prie de ne pas crier/Please do not cry�, and the doctors set about the patient with saws, cheerily hacking off limbs, and then slopping them into a bucket, all the while arguing ferociously with each other. They then reattach arms and legs from a bucket of �exchange pieces� (using glue) before re-animating their victim, I mean patient, with bellows.
