Q4: Did they have surgeries? If so, did they have medicine to put the patients to sleep?
Yes, they did have surgeries but they were very dangerous! If I were living back then I would definitely not want to have one and I’ll tell you why! First of all, the patients stayed awake during the operation. So the majority of the people died of shock or pain before the surgery was even finished. Although, the doctors did have pain relievers, they still didn't work that very well.
There were no cures and those who survived the operation often ended up getting an infection anyways. So I just don’t get why they even had surgeries, there was no point and it just put the patient through more pain then they needed to be in. But luckily, surgeries were only performed last, if all other treatments had failed. So the main problem of surgeries back then was the pain. If they had pain relievers then most people would survive but without them, it’s almost impossible.
