„... While sober ...” or however the anesthesia. A brief attempt to answer the question whether in the early nineteenth century, military surgeons have used pain-relieving drugs

Maria J. Turos

This is a continuation of the previous article on attempts to respond to the question of the use by military doctors painkillers. This time the topic was narrowed down to the views contained in two major publications, Raphael Joseph Czerwiakowski as is Narządu powszechnego opatrzenia chirurgicznego and Chirurgia praktyczna..., which can safely be called not only the father of Polish surgery, but also the teacher of a generation of military surgeons. Presented in both the abovementioned works detailed discussion then used painkillers can be argued that the same content conveyed to his students, and therefore future military physicians Duchy of Warsaw. This is further proof – and complements the documentary – to the fact that pain killers were well known. This gives a starting-point to suppose that it could be problems in reaching the specifi c written sources, or language barrier (Latin) mean that they are still reproduced the views of “...was not known and not used...”.
