If nothing else, doctors provided a sympathetic ear to upper-class nineteenthcentury women.

But medical advancements did take place. The fact that people were trying different medicines and considering different perspectives was a positive first step. This outside-the-box thinking is what led Crawford W. Long to perform the first successful surgery using ether as an anesthetic. On March 30, 1842, he painlessly removed a tumor from the neck of a patient. Other advances came later in the century, during the unfortunate, violent dispute between the American North and South—the Civil War.
