  • 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.

      Not where gangrene was concerned, which we have antibiotics for now but had nothing acceptable to help bacterial or viral infections in the early 1800's! My father was a physician, later an anesthesiologist, and he had some cans of ether out in our storeroom by the garage, where our large freezer and canned food was kept, when the basement shelves were full of home-canned food! I never asked him what the ether cans were stored there for, but I can only surmise that he just planned to use them for something, maybe he was shy on storage at the office. I probably knew at one time but have forgotten now. Penicillin wasn't discovered until about 1928, which was the first antibiotic we had, then many more of different kinds later and there are all kinds of them today. I can still remember Daddy giving us a shot of penicillin when I was very young, and how it hurt (because it was so viscous and quite a bit was injected) it is different today but still used!

    As an infant, I was operated on over and over without anesthesia. It was believed as late as the 1990s that babies didn’t need anesthesia. It took a long time to unpack why I was afraid of my neck and abdomen being touched when I was young until my mom recalled seeing me in the OR cut open and screaming.

      I’m so so sorry! I had a similar but much much much less traumatizing experience
      When I was a baby my parents suspected I had a bladder infection (Imagery warning for down there)
      I still remember being laid on that table with strange people in blue touching me down there ( I genuinely don’t think any of them knew this would be something that I’d remember and didn’t want to hurt me at all) and feeling pain, for years I didn’t know what it was since I was too young to understand I was having a tube put into my urethra to get to my bladder, I also remember not being able to cry, so I wonder if I was put under something but it didn’t work?
      Edit: It definitely wasn’t super duper painful, but it still hurt and that is a sensitive area, I’m not sure if it actually had a huge effect on me, but I remembered it so well I thought I had to have been a toddler until my parents told me that procedure happened under the age of one

    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.

    Anesthesia (from the patient’s perspective) is a baffling experience. If you’ve never experienced it, I hope you never do. We say that it’s “going to sleep” but the experience is nothing like sleep. When sleeping, you have at least some feeling that time has past. With anesthesia, it’s like someone just edited a section out of your life. It feels instantaneous, even if you were out for days. I’ve only had one surgery that was several hours long. I felt as if i instantaneously transported from the OR to the recovery room. It was very strange and disorienting. Because of the pain meds, I genuinely had no idea they’d actually done the surgery. I had to sit up and look at my leg to make sure something had been done. Of course, a few hours later when the pain meds wore off, there was no question something had been done.

Imagine the pain in the moment of badly cutting yourself, but 50 times worse and majorly drawn out - that’s the pain of major surgery without anesthesia. Now imagine the pain you feel *after* cutting yourself - multiply *that* by 50, and add weird pulling sensations (from literally being sewn back together) and some swelling and such, and that’s the pain you feel *after* surgery and after the meds wear off. *Now* imagine going from “no pain” to “post-surgery pain” - your brain isn’t prepared for it because it didn’t experience the pain of surgery itself, so it’s all the worse.

    I was an anesthesiology resident for 6 months at the Miami VA hospital at the beginning of my career and saw about 2-3 surgeries per day. Surgery is an absolute assault on a body and wouldn't be possible without modern anesthesia.

      Actually, some of the anesthetics you receive will cause amnesia during the procedure, which is why it seems like no time has passed between going unconscious and waking up, because your brain isn't able to create memories, which means it can't distinguish the passage of time either. This is because sometimes people do briefly regain consciousness (extremely rare and the anesthesiologist's job is specifically to make sure this does not happen) and the amnesia prevents them from suffering mental trauma as a result.
      Fun fact as well, your body will actually induce a kind of amnesia if you're put through enough pain. But it's more of the "memory rapidly fades afterwards" kind. I've heard of it frequently happening to pregnant women, and I've actually experienced it myself during a particularly horrid kidney stone that sent me to the ER. 0 memory of what happened even though I was never given anything other than IV fluids and a mild painkiller.

    As someone who has had 2 knee surgeries, 2 hip replacements, 1 shoulder labrum and rotator cuff repair, 1 carpal tunel, 2 plantar fasciatis, and last one kidney removed due to cancer i can really really appreciate being OUT. Though last surgery, i had a hard time coming out of it and also developed breathing issues. No matter, it's better than cancer, right?

    I had my gall bladder removed about five years ago, and given how much it hurt for the 24 hours after I regained consciousness, I can't imagine how much it would have hurt to have undergone the surgery while conscious.

    I had life saving surgery back in February and was given an ileostomy due to a severe case of chrons disease and had to have a perforation removed along with a meter of my small bowel. I remember the surgeons putting the gas mask onto me and passed out shortly after going into theatre, it only felt like closing my eyes for no longer then a minute and when i regained consciousness i asked the surgeons when the operation was going to start and when was i going to be sedated to which they replied that the operation had already been completed and was successful. it wasn't until i looked down and noticed the staples from my groin to my belly button that the pain hit me but i was given a PRN of ketamine shortly after that i could administer to myself every 5 minutes if i needed too. I'm fully recovered now and am scheduled to have my ileostomy reversed by the end of the year.

    Anyone who calls being under anesthesia as being asleep hasn't been under anesthesia. The physicians put a mask over you and you pass out. I came to in what seemed like a moment relieved that the appendix was out but with the sharp incision pain. Still not as bad as dealing with an awful internal infection. There was no sleep, I was out under anesthesia.

    Sushruta (c. 600 BCE) is considered as the "founding father of surgery". His period is usually placed between the period of 1200. BC - 600 BC. One of the earliest known mention of the name is from the Bower Manuscript where Sushruta is listed as one of the ten sages residing in the Himalayas. For successful surgery, Sushruta induced anesthesia using intoxicants such as wine and henbane (Cannabis indica). He being the first and the most important and successful surgeon of the world is a proud part of Indian and world history. It's a shameful thing for Ted x to not give him his rightful place in this video.

      Thank you for telling me about Sushruta, I always love expanding my knowledge of the history of science/medicine/technology from outside of the christian-based history that is all we ever seem to get taught in the west (I'm Australian, for reference).
      So much of what we are taught as having been "discovered" by (usually) English scientists/doctors was actually discovered/invented by people from the Middle East or Asia (and most likely from many other places outside of the West as well)! I'm frequently astonished by how much was covered up by the British empire so they could appear to be the most advanced society on earth - even though it is darkly hilarious, since the doctors/scientists of the British empire were so bogged down in "this is how it's always been done", and often adopted things LONG after it was standard practice in other parts of the world!
      Anyway, sorry for ranting so much - I just can't help thinking how much faster the world would have advanced if it weren't for colonisation! I'm very grateful to learn the true history of science/medicine/technology, and I'm grateful to you for bringing attention to it! Hope you have a really lovely week friend 💛

Our willingness to know, is what makes us different and yes that's a good thing. And one other thing, yes britishers during the era of colonial period destroyed our eastern culture. Not only that, but the Mughals that can from modern day Turkey destroyed most of our eastern culture. As a fellow thinker, I would recommend you to look into Vedas and several other books which were written by scientists that existed way before modern day children( no offence) called - Einstein and Newton.(just search this and you'll find out why I said children, I was surprised myself for the first time) For eg - search for Distance from son to earth in Hanuman chalisa( written in 16th century, not even a refracting telescope was invented at that time). When science was teaching us Sun is stationery which was believed to be true just a few years earlier, Yajurved mentioned that sun was not stationery, it moves taking along various planets with it. The concept of flat earth which was once proved to be true was also rejected by Vedas, they clearly mentioned earth not being flat, as it cannot contain gravitational proportionately. Concept of multiverse, quantum physics, etc all came from one single source( many scientists such as Einstein, Nicola Tesla themselves were profound readers of Books such as Bhagvat Geeta). I hope I didn't write too much. 😅

    Fun fact: the invention of anesthesia was fully developed and used widely by Queen Victoria’s personal doctor, John Snow until Dr John Snow administered ether (ie chloroform) to Victoria during the births of Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice. She actually didn’t like being awake during childbirth. Her labor period is said to have lasted around 30 hours I think when they had to put her to sleep.
