I'm sitting is a 3 day meeting on complications in dental sedation and compromised patients while I ran into this wild quote from the first president of the American Dental Association back in 1860. This clearly shows how the concept of pain control and anesthesia has progressed!
William Henry Atkinson, originally a physician,felt that to eliminate pain is "to do the work of the devil!"
“I think anesthesia is of the DEVIL, and I cannot give my sanction to any Santanic influence which deprives man of the capacity form recognizing the LAW. I wish there were no such thing as anesthesia. I do not think man should be prevented from passing through what God intended them to endure.” Sacred Pain
