Anesthesia came much, much, much later. So I wonder what that surgery must have felt like without it.

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I would assume.

I suppose that was why it was used to disfigure thieves

I think alcohol and other mind numbing drugs existed back then, as well as a solid wooden club to the back of patients head.

Would assume what?

As the son of a retired facial plastic surgeon, can confirm this. But that's one of many ways. I didn't realize until teenage years it was unusual to watch surgery videos right before dinner.

Woah, was that more of a "bringing your work home" type deal or a "share with the family" thing. I'm leaning towards the former but can't help but ask for confirmation.

Just had an open septo rhinoplasty. So happy with it. I can breathe and sleep!
