PAINLESS Surgery: The DENTIST Who Discovered ANESTHESIA and Changed Medicine Before anesthesia, surgeries were scenes of horror, where the suffering was so extreme that many preferred to risk their lives rather than undergo an intervention.

We delve into the failed attempts of Horace Wells, the distressing reality of patients waking up in the middle of surgeries, and the success of general anesthesia in 1846. Also discover how in Spain, Dr. Fidel Pagés developed epidural anesthesia, transforming interventions into a safer and more humanitarian act.
