You are merely making my point. All these things did not affect the

Ars longa vita brevis.
In the 19th century -- before physiological anesthetics (analogy:
economic anesthetics like the New Deal), master surgeons would
sometimes have their operations timed by an assistant. One example:
To amputate a limb. Asst: "One minute, twenty-nine seconds."
Doctor: "Would, for Mr. ___, it had been shorter." Mr. ___
died during the operation.
