Charles Finch has recorded a story of obstetrical procedures from the history of science in East Africa (Van Sertima, 1986). IN 1879, a missionary doctor named Felkin observed a Banyoro surgeon in Uganda performing a cesarean section. A young woman was lying in a hut preparing to deliver her first child. The delivery had been particularly difficult, and the tribal surgeon had given the young mother to be some banana wine to ease the pain of childbirth. Banana wine was commonly used by the Banyoro as a pain-killing drug.
