Dr. Crawford W. Longs Painless Operations

Dr. Crawford W. Long of Jefferson, Georgia, performed a surgical procedure in 1842 with anesthetic. Todays anesthetics allow surgeons to perform much more complex surgery. Susan Deaver, director of the Crawford W. Long Museum in Jefferson, narrates a re-enactment of Dr. Longs experiment. Scenes from Gone with the Wind show what an amputation was like without an anesthetic. Historians and physicians comment.
