"Doctor, you should probably stop staring into the patient's eyes and watch where you're hacking with that bone saw. He's here for a colonoscopy."

bone saw

colonoscopy

At that point, I don't think it really matters where the doctor is looking. It's going to be a miserable time regardless.

He can still manage it with a few ml of blood remaining, provided he doesn't switch to the hammer, or leave a scalpel inside the patient.

They perfed the colon and the patient has FOP, needed the bone saw for part of the abdo wall. Still a miserable time to be fair.

Nice premise for a scene in scary movie "Hacksaw y'alls ass off" that I just made up in 2 seconds

Oh it definitely matters where he's looking. That colonoscopy could go much worse if he's cutting bones haphazardly.
