One of the landmark moments for surgical medicine came with the discovery in 1942 that a compound from the South American plant called curare (pronounced cure-are-ay) could be used as a supplemental anesthetic.   Prior to that, the main types of anesthetics used in surgery were drugs like diethyl ether.  For an anesthetic to be effective for surgery, it needs to induce a state of unconsciousness and prevent widespread body movement.  The problem with ether was that while a small dose could induce unconsciousness, a much larger dose was required to induce muscle paralysis.     Curare is a selective skeletal muscle paralytic.  (For exactly this reason, many different indigenous peoples in South America have historically used curare extract to coat arrows and darts for hunting.) Curare — when used in conjunction with ether — allowed surgeons to use smaller doses of ether, making surgeries much safer.
