Wonderful, information.
I am just wondering who it must have been to be operated in those days . For one their was no anesthetic. The tools used would have been difficult to operate ,this could have increase the pain.
I wonder how many operations would have been successful , I would think that the pain would be a problem and it would be the pain that would have been to devastating for the person to live.
That brings me to the question ,if they did have anesthetic would the success rate be higher.
After all sad and done thing need to be started somewhere and luckyly for us operation have advanced.
