Making a supported inference

The source states/show.
This suggest

Source A states that the patient suffered from pain during operation, this shows
that anaesthetics were not available at this period. From my own knowledge I
know that the first effective and save anaesthetics wasnt made until 1847 by
James Simpson which was chloroform. And so many doctors in this period had to
carry out the operation as fast as possible and many people based a good doctor
on how fast they were able to carry out an operation so good doctors reputation
died down as chloroform was getting used. Source A also states that transfusion
did not take place when blood was lost so this suggests many patients died from
blood lost during operations. From my own knowledge I know that doctors had to
be quick due to the huge of amount of death from blood lost because the faster
it was done the less blood released and because of huge amount of death from
blood lost many people were too scared to get surgery performed on them and
so this led to people dying from lack of treatment. Source A also states that the
doctor cut off his assistant fingers this suggest that doctors were messy and
unorganised. From my own knowledge I know that at this time period doctors
werent trained well and no examination was needed before leaving university.
