Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Trace the history of anesthesia from the 3rd century to today, and explore how doctors performed surgery before anesthetic drugs. The quest for anesthetics that could induce unconsciousness and enable more meticulous surgeries began around the early 3rd century CE. Before anesthesia was widely used, patients had to consciously endure every moment of surgery. So, what methods did doctors use before modern medicine caught up? Sally Frampton traces the history of anesthetic drugs. Agniswar: You forgot to mention Sushruta. Maharishi Sushruta the father of surgery used to make his patients drunk by made them consume wine. It helped them to feel as less pain as possible during the entire surgery.

they missed the best thing about Robert Liston, in one amputation he managed to kill 3 people, a spectator had a heart attack after being narrowly missed with his knife, he accidently cut his assistant finger who alongside the patient died from an infection because he didn't clean the instrument.
Apart from that he was still considered one of the best sturgeon of the time, as due to the speed (he could amputate a leg in 2. 5 minutes) he lost only 1 in 10, where the average at the time was 1 in 4.

Or more appropriately - How did White people do surgery before anesthesia? Different Africa tribes have innovative and great medical advances that other parts of the world do not know; and that is true even today. But the world is too arrogant to ask and they do not know the wisdom and knowledge Africans have.

I saw on this cartoon once, don't ask me which one, a doctor was about to work on the patient and told his assistant to knock the patient out. Well, the assistant hit the patient with a hard object and the doctor said, 'Not like that. With the sleeping gas'.

All of my experiences with anesthesia is just blacking out, and waking up later like as if nothing happened, I've heard others say they dream when it happens, but for me I am out like a lightbulb XD.

The video was a rollercoaster for me: it started horribly painful, then histerically funny, then things got serious when the inequality of the time were exposed. Job well done, ted ed!

Meanwhile the patient: AAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAAA (Im becoming a atheist after this)

Can we NOT weave racism into every topic? I get it, people were bad, but constantly focusing on it is not the way to a healthy society. Thanks.

These people are sinners!
