Synopsis

Anesthetics are almost taken for granted now, but they have a relatively short history. In the bad old days surgery was a spectator sport, and a patient was as likely to die from the shock as he was from the disease or deformity that plagued him. Scream: The History of Anesthetics covers the major highlights of the quest for the perfect anesthetic.
