"NO ETHER - WE DIE WITHOUT LEGS"

this patch is a homage to the grisly days of victorian medicine, before the widespread use of diethyl ether as surgical anesthetic. back then, surgeons could do little more than perform procedures as quickly as possible, while surgical assistants held down the conscious patients. one such surgeon is the infamous Dr Robert Liston - capable of amputating a leg in under 3 minutes, and losing only about 1 out of every 10 of his patients on the table.

patches are embroidered, 3x3in circular, with iron-on backing
