My gran grew up in the 1940s/50s and her parents didn't have running water or electricity until she was about 10 years old. Her and her siblings shared the bathwater (she had 3 sisters and 4 brothers - she was the baby) in order of age. The water was fetched from the creek. Granted, they did live on a farm, but I assume people who lived in town didn't have it much better.
She was also put to work, just the same as her siblings. She has this wonderful story about a time when her brother let a headless chicken chase her around the farm for a good while. We're really not so far away from the uncivilized world.

Yeah, it's the stitches and they pull as the swelling goes down. Plus urine is really salty which stings like hell from what he told me.
As a newborn they slice the large tube sticking out of your belly button that's been feeding you for nine months. A little extra off the end of your weenie is no big deal. This thread is a mind blower.
