Question

anaesthetics used from mid 19th century

Answer 1

Many philosophers term the 19th century as the “Age of Pain”.

During this period, surgeries were performed without any kind of Anaesthetics. The first time it was implemented was during a tooth extraction.

The medical professionals were divided on the opinion about using anaesthesia as most of them believed that by only trying to eliminate any kind of pain with this procedure, the patients could be put at life threatening risk.
