History of Medicine: Replacing a severed hand with a hook: was it ever done or is it just a Pirate movies thing?
That's fascinating. Do you happen to know about any notable figures in history who used prosthetics?
Yes, there are several examples. For instance, Lord Uxbridge, a British officer famously lost his leg in the Battle of Waterloo and used a wooden leg afterwards. And famously, Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and advisor to the Romanov family, had two prosthetic fingers on his left hand due to a childhood accident.
