Wonder why they have a headache?

We go to the doctor’s office when we are sick. If we need surgery we have it done by a surgeon. If pain is an issue we have pain medicines. When in surgery we are put to sleep and are not able to feel pain as they are performing the surgery. That is something that we should be very thankful for. The ancient Egyptians didn’t have this. Egyptians were very clean and very well educated when it came to the human anatomy. They all (including the women) kept all their hair shaved in order to keep sickness at a minimal as well as bathed regularly. They even had specialists in different fields as we do today. The Egyptians have taught us a great deal today. Like today, Egyptians performed surgeries and acts of healing through medicines and various other forms of doctoring. The only thing that they didn’t have was the pain medicines. No, they didn’t give out pain medicines to their patients, even the ones that were being operated on. This is one thing that we should be thankful that we have. The surgeons then would simply hit the patient on the head with a mallet to knock him out. Not only was this probably painful, it was very dangerous as well. They easily could have hit to hard killing the patient. Fortunately our form of anesthesia isn’t a mallet.
