Dr. Reuben Crandall was one of the finest medical minds on the planet—the kind of physician that could brilliantly diagnose the rarest illnesses from the most insignificant clues, and cure them within days.
(As long as it wasn't lupus, that is; that one always gave him trouble.)
No one's sure why he snapped.
Some say he came down with an inoperable brain tumor that he tried—and failed—to remove himself. Others say it was the stresses of dealing with too-whiny, too-ignorant, too-stubborn patients that just disregarded his advice anyway. And some say he was driven berserk after failing to save his own child on the operating table.

But the truth doesn't matter. What's important is that Dr. Crandall, aka The Insidious Dr. Sawbones, sees nothing but a bloated, diseased, dying world...
...and he's the only one that can heal it...
...one gory operation at a time.

Dr. Sawbones isn't the usual somber, silent slasher. Sure, he can hunt and catch victims unawares with the best of the psychos, but he's usually quite loquacious and glib with his new "patients", and prone to quippy one-liners. The Doctor likes to educate while he amputates.
Dr. Sawbones adheres to a twisted version of the Hippocratic Oath, in that any harm he inflicts is truly for the greater good. He's the apex predator weeding out the feeble, sick, and infirm, and it's a noble—even sacred—calling. This leads The Doctor to research his victims in advance, and he targets people with medical conditions over the hale and hearty. But even perfect specimens of health have flaws only Dr. Sawbones can see....

Some years, Dr. Sawbones infiltrates Camp Killalotta as official staff medic, and "handles" all the injuries that befall the unfortunate campers...
...until the Final Gals / Last Lads Standing realize the camp doesn't have an official staff medic!!!
