I remember seeing a movie and also reading in books about the wild west that before anesthesia was discovered, doctors would operate on people using alcohol as an anesthetic. Does this practice still exist? Is it possible to successfully operate on someone who has passed out after too much drinking? I also heard a similar story about a girl who claimed to have lost her virginity without feeling a thing, because her boyfriend supposedly got her drunk, then "took advantage" when she was passed out. Could something like that happen, presuming the alcohol was not laced with any other substances?

i'm not due to have surgery any time soon, but its on my mind from time to time because i'm an undiagnosed emetophobe (fear of vomiting). if i were to have surgery, what types of surgery would require what types of anesthesia? for example, what procedures require intubation? what options do i have: general anesthesia, local anesthesia, etc. what side effects would i come across and what options do i have to avoid these side effects? thanks for your time.

According to the ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties) and ABPlsurg.org (American Board of Plastic Surgeons) Dr. Rouchdi Mohammad Rafai is NOT certified.

All of his websites claim he is certified. How does he get away with this?????
