Some doctors opposed the early use of anesthetics due to concerns about their safety and potential complications. They believed that the natural pain response was important for diagnosing conditions and that anesthesia could interfere with this process. Additionally, there was a lack of understanding about the physiological effects of these substances, leading to fears of adverse reactions. Cultural and religious beliefs also played a role, as some viewed pain as a necessary part of the healing process or as a test of endurance.
