it's kinda irony and interesting why Doctors don't know how "Anestesia" works!...so...if they don't know how it works in our body why they are still using "Anestesia" to help people can't feel the pain of surgeries???IS IT STILL SAFE?????

First of all its spelled Anaesthesia. Now, suppose you had to undergo a surgery what would you choose ? Excruciating pain as the doctors operate or numbness or a peaceful sleep ?
A lot of medicinal products act in ways which are a mystery to Science. We don't even know how Aspirin works.

There are quite a few ways to make people unconscious during surgery. Some of them are pretty well understood and some are still uncertain.
Does it matter if we do or do not understand the mode of action of drugs, as long as we know how to use them safely? If we knew exactly how the drug worked, perhaps we could use it more precisely, but whether or not we know that, there is a huge benefit from being able to stop pain and have a patient relaxed and calm during a procedure. Imagine trying to do openheart surgery without anaesthesia!!!!!
