What would it be like to be a patient in 1875 at great ormond street hospital?
Being a patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1875 would be a challenging experience. Medical knowledge and practices were limited, with many treatments based on outdated theories and often involving painful procedures.

However, it was one of the pioneering institutions in pediatric medicine, offering some hope for children in need of specialized care.

A topical anesthetic for venipuncture is typically applied when a patient is particularly anxious about needle procedures, has a low pain tolerance, or if the venipuncture site is in a sensitive area. It can also be used for pediatric patients or individuals with a history of painful experiences with blood draws. The anesthetic should be applied about 30-60 minutes prior to the procedure to ensure adequate numbing.
