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.

Apart from people already explaining, give “The century of a surgeon” by Jurgen Thorvald a read! It’s a great book and would answer nearly all questions about the history of surgery itself!
