There once was a person that had a 300% mortality rate when he did his surgery.
TL;DR- He did an amputation with an unsterilized saw, and was WAY too wild with it.
Another user added:
He cut his assistant's finger off. Both that assistant and the patient died of infection. He also cut the coat of a present elderly doctor. With the blood spurting everywhere the doctor thought he was cut and died of a panic-induced heart attack.
