How did people get surgeries done before anesthesia was invented? How were they able to stay still and not move around during the procedures?

There’s no way people could just grit their teeth and feel being cut, could they? The pain alone had to make people act out.

I think thats basically what happened….I’ve heard other stories where they got people drunk…and since alcohol is a blood thinner I dont think that worked out too well either.
