Incase anyone needed to know: “Sepsis is a potentially life-
threatening condition caused by the body's response to an infection. The body normally releases chemicals into the bloodstream to fight an infection. Sepsis occurs when the body's response to these chemicals is out of balance, triggering changes that can damage multiple organ systems.“
The doctor was also definitely the guy you wanted doing your amputation. He insisted on cleanliness and sterility at a time when surgeons liked having messy operating rooms and bloody clothes because it "showed they were busy", was the fastest amputator by a long shot at a time when every second counted, and invented surgical devices still in use today.
But yeah, he did make some fatal mistakes.
And its important to mention the reason speed mattered so much was because they didn't really have anesthesia, so the patient was awake and fighting, because they had to be held down during the procedure, which is how the assistant go cut.
