"The BEST part" ????
Doc,
I am thoroughly convinced that you are re-incarnate from the Inquisition!
Couple of questions for ya along this line....
I read somewhere that George Washington (it could have been some other famous American, can't remember) probably would have survived longer had he not been "bled" so much that he became weak and unable to fight his illness.
Is that true?
Also, how much truth is there to the standard "Hollywood" depictions of ingesting large amounts of alcohol as an anesthetic before removing bullets, amputations, etc ?
When did viable anesthetics first appear? What were they?
Ether?
