#ashokasays Did you know 10:

Most of us know that Shushrutha is father of surgery. What's more amazing is that he did surgeries about 2600 years ago. He and health scientists of his time conducted complicated surgeries like cesareans, cataract, artificial limbs, fractures,  urinary stones and even plastic surgery and brain surgery. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India. Over 125 surgical instruments were used. Deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, etiology, embryology, digestion, metabolism,  genetics and immunity is also found in many texts.
