god, to be in a class where the traditional end-of-lecture activity was to get zooted with your prof for science
Right? Now when I ask if we can mouth pipette for fun I get a stern email after class.
that guys dog is the true hero of this story if u ask me
"Were there
no
lawyers back then?"
Exactly!
That's
why society advanced so quickly!
Ah...Robert Liston...the only known doctor with a 300% mortality rate in a single surgery!
it is so funny to me knowing they were doing whip-its in the 1800s. im gonna use that fact to pick on my friends who do them
Just imagine how far we could get without lawyers.
How many people would be dead now without lawyers?
The River Lethe (which Morton's concoction was named for) had nothing to do with ""healing". The word meant "forgetfulness" or "oblivion". Definitely a good choice for an anesthesia drug.
The river itself, in Greek mythology, was in Hades. And no, our synonym for hell did not have the same meaning for the Greeks.
In fact, the modern Hell is much closer to the Greek Tartaros/Tartarus, and even early and Medieval Christians thought so.
Sethe, the protagonist of Toni Morrison's novel _Beloved,_ was named for the river Lethe
Absolutely privileged to have access to your videos. Highly informative and tonnes of thanks. My everyday morning goes well hearing to u sometimes again and again to grab it all up
This is an amazing video! Im really glad I found it, I was doing a study for one of my Uni courses, and this gave me the kick I needed to do further research, thank you so much! I hope I can see your channel grow from now on.
That’s so sweet of you to say, thank you! And best of luck with your studies
I can still remember the early 80s, I was a kid and need a major surgery by my dentist after a accident.... They made me high with laughing gas...
I still remember that smell,, the strange feeling and how fast the time goes by.....
My dentist office uses it nowadays. It makes me dizzy, but I don't really feel high from it. It does lessen the pain, but doesn't fully get rid of it, even with freezing the area as well, so I can totally understand how that demonstration was a total failure.
@@ettinakitten5047 you're right. It's not the kind of "high" I would pay for....
But as a kid.... Pretty heavy stuff 😜
Nitrous gets sooo trippy in high doses. I once left my body and was in a never ending black and white tunnel @@etee08
This was so interesting. As someone who has had multiple surgeries. I am very very glad anesthesia exists!
Were the surgeries related to your username, by any chance?
@@ettinakitten5047 actually the broken foot was one thing I did NOT need surgery for!
This channel is so underrated!
Hope it grows into a bigger thing, so that I can say I ve been subbed since 1k 😁
Found the channel yesterday and I've been obsessed with every single video .. literally i'm speechless 🔥
That's super kind of you, thanks for telling me. I'll have a new video for you later this week
@@PatKellyTeaches can't wait for that😆
Imagine being in class and your profesor gets high as shit on laughing gas
most of my profs were high off weed in highschool and college xD
I just found your channel and you deserve way more subs than you got, I watch alot of these type of videos and yours are clear and concise
Hey can you explain the "using sulfuric acid for pain relief" bit? I got sulfuric acid on me in an undergrad Chem course and it did quite the opposite so I'm curious how that worked
i would imagine it to be similar to the capsaicin "counter-irritant" tinctures and creams that already exist. a dilute solution, applied topically to the area experiencing pain, causes localized tingling that quickly advances to what feels more like a pins-and-needles numbness. it's not pain RELIEF per se, rather pain MANAGEMENT. a painful stimulus is superseded by another, less painful stimulus that takes over the same nerves.
It chemically cauterizes the nerve endings that transmit pain. Usually for canker sores, and it's a pretty effective treatment.
Why do I remember these things, but not important phone numbers?
@@AshesAshes44to many number cycle in our daily lives as that one weird fact doesn't get bombarded with other like facts so it sets in a file drawer by itself so it never gets pushed out
@trogdore3games498 Good theory!
@@AshesAshes44 my wife calls me a Rolodex of weird information but gives me crap because I can't remember her phone number
I somehow had the mistaken impression that anesthesia was not available for the many amputations and other surgeries needed during the American Civil War. It is good to know that it became widely available in America 15 years earlier. Unfortunately, Joseph Lister didn't publish his antiseptic principles until after the war was over.
I love niche educational channels like this, you got my sub bro. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for making these episodes.
Have attempted to visit Ether Dome in person but was never successful in entering.
I wish my lecturers had somehow incorporated these into med school classes. Would have made them much more interesting, in retrospect.
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I hope you make it there someday. It's amazing to stand where history happened!
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. You'd deserve a publicly financed grant just for your channel!
I lived in Boston for 7 years & NEVER heard of this "ether dome" 😭
Gynecological biopsies are too often done without anesthesia in the US
1800s science get high as fuck with your friends....... wait am I an 19th century scientist now?????
I was needed canal treatment for my tooth and anesthezia didnt worked. God i never felt a pain like this. It was my first dental surgery and doc was saying it was normal and i was being dramatic. I tryed to stand pain by everything i know about pain control. Even i trying to not caring about pain and just breathing my hearth was pulseing so mutch. It was like so cold thing trying to put hole to your tooth. I couldnt control myself and hitted doctors hand and said "i can still feel it please do something" he injected 3 fking syringes to inside of the hole that on my tooth. I felt all of them. I hold his hand while doing 1 more syringe and said "enough i just want to go" they filled canal with something and they said i need to come back about in a week. I never go to that dentist again. I go to other dentist and then i understanded that this pain wasnt normal. I feeled no pain in my new dentist becouse the fking syringes where working as should they need. My tooths are good right now. It was happened when i was 12 and i am almost 16 right now but even now i feel very stressed in dentist. That moment sometimes feels like happening again in random times. I cant fking sleep sometimes becouse of this. I am so happy that it ll not happend again (at least to me).The men who discovered anesthesia were heroes that saved us things like this. I hope they rest in peace
What a great video, filled with facts!
Have you ever looked into like holistic medicines like Feverfew which as I understand it is more like something for pain for headaches menstruation fevers. It was big in the Antiquity days.. These days people still use it from what I understand they have to be careful because it can cause sores in the mouth. And it's addictive like caffeine. That's why it's probably not as popular as they Tylenol or aspirin or ibuprofen. It also if someone has problems exist makes worse you know acid reflux stuff. But I'd like to know more about it and I don't see any documentaries or history of this or that. That'd be cool to cover😂 anyway love you videos.❤
IDK about feverfew specifically but he has several videos about herbs as medicines, such as belladonna.
As an amputee I’d like to say thanks
Same. So glad I found this channel, top tier for sure!
As a kid I was given ether for a tonsillectomy. Horrible experience! I guess I had hallucinations, thought they were killing me, and that memory stayed with me for years. Still don't like doctors.
So glad I found you! I’m binge l’m ADHD rabbit holing, aka binge watching & the dopamine is sooo good! Ty!!!
Oooh, he's at 29k subscribers now! Moving on up.
These videos are so damn good haha.
Did Wells actually have a wisdom tooth pulled under Nitrous? Those teeth have 3 roots and usually are very hard to remove by hand. Teeth with 2 or 1 root are OK, though. It's why dentists may do extractions of those teeth in their offices but send someone to an oral surgeon to remove a molar or wisdom teeth. They literally have to cut them up to get all the pieces out successfully.
How do you not have more views?!
why in the heck are you so underrated!
Haircut
You also cannot forget the most effective use of ether that was ever performed was when Nas used it against Jay-Z
Such a great channel
Liston.. as in Listerine? That would be so awesome if it was.
Not quite, though the mouthwash was named after his student, whose name was ListER - a pioneer of antiseptic surgery. It's not connected to him in any way though, just cashing in on his name.
Your videos are excellent! Instant subscribe and I start like for me!
Love your channel ❤️
Glad you enjoy it! More to come
Wow. This is amazing information. The infographics video was much more vauge.
"Great Man history is pointless" BRUH. Has anyone told you lately what a gem you are?
Horace Wells was from Hartford, CT
Didn't knew that thanks
You are so underrated
I appreciate that, thank you!
We are so lucky to live when we do. Imagine the misery before anaesthesia and antibiotics? The vast majority of human history in fact.
Great video!
a avuto una grande evulozione nel tempo
la anestisia nella storia
ecccola finalmente la futura anestesia
This story will make a good dark comedy film. lol
Super interesting.
Why is ether used in starting fluid
because it’s flammable as all hell and has a low vapor pressure, so it can be easily mixed into the air-gas mixture that enters the cylinder and because it’s so flammable, makes it easier to initially ignite. It’s so very flammable, it was the demise of many drug pilots trafficking it into South America to be used in cocaine production.
Ether is a class of chemicals that are flammable. All containers of any ether used in my labs had to be stored and used inside of a vent hood.
@@patricial.6758 That really doesn't answer my question
because it burns rapidly
Nitros oxide has much to be perceived
This was interesting. Never knew this part of history.
It was a fun story to read into. Glad I remade it.
This is when they could do anything and it wouldn't matter if you died. But this is how we learned stuff and got better stuff now / kinda (they make cheep sh** now so..)
"Referring to ONE man as the inventor, or the discoverer" JUST DRIVES THE COLLECTIVIST LEFT-WING academics nuts, because it correctly assigns praise to the one person who saw what no one else did. It celebrates the individual over the herd.
I hope youve seen The Knick... if not, binge watch it!
It's one of my favorite medical shows ever! Would love to do a reaction-style video series about it
@PatKellyTeaches it's a travesty that it didn't get renewed :-( it's such an underrated show. Literally EVERYONE I've convinced to watch the pilot episode ends up binge watching it and is equally puzzled why they never heard of it.
Huge fail on marketing, imo.
@@PatKellyTeaches P.S. I would love a reaction style video series. There are just so many cool scenes in there.
You know in the final episode (Spoilers) where he tries to carry out the surgery on himself? I can't find it right now, but that actually happened, only the guy who did it lived through it just fine (didn't cut an artery). Fricken amazing. Can't imagine the outrage if anyone even tried that today.

SULFURIC ACID for pain relief?!?!
cool vid :D
Why do I have a nightmare nicaraguan in US know how to make anesthesia cause collapsed heart n lung and everything in between. When people allowed into every facility hospital etc attempts. God bless America is the pray
sulphuric acid? ouch
Sulphuric Ether not sulphuric acid.

you re starting to story history from some millenniums later

Crawford Long did it first
Yes, in 1842 and Crawford Long was awarded the recognition of primacy after Jackson and Moreton had a long and acrimonious argument.
i get why the content is good and the viewership is low
kind of feels like someone deepfaked the sci-show girls but didnt change the vocal inflections
