Where did you get the idea he doesn’t believe in anesthesia?
He uses it where appropriate. You have to remember anesthesia has its own inherent risks and there are cases where it is far riskier to use it than not to.
Like the poor kid who died under anesthesia in the dentist chair down here undergoing a simple tooth drilling. All to “save” her from 5 minutes of anxiety.
The risks of anesthesia in both humans and animals are minimized by 1) pre-op tests, 2) administration by someone who knows what they are doing, 3) using the most up to date meds and procedures.
