This video looks at the history of surgery. The video included the development of anaesthetics, antiseptics and blood transfusions. It also looks at the important people associated with surgery such as James Simpson, Joseph Lister, Doctor Christaan Barnard to name but a few. The music used is from the Saw and The Exorcist!

  • nitrous oxide or laughing gas did not take away pain it just made the patient less aware of it, I think you need to revise
