No matter what happen to the patient the doctors always used the same drug which was Cocaine. Although this is an addictive drug they never give too much they use the real definition of anesthesia which means lack of pain so it will not always completely take away all of the pain.

In the decades after the cocaine was being used, doctors began using flexible tubes called catheters to deliver the medicine. The end of the tube was inserted under the skin and was used to deliver the drug whenever it was needed, so doctors didn't have to continuously poke laboring women with needles. But these epidurals were still a long way off from those of today.
