Doctors React To Horrifying Old Medical Devices

Рет қаралды 10,585,757

Күн бұрын

My friend, Dr. Alok Patel, swung by to take a look at the medical devices of yore. I can't believe how lucky we are to live in the era we do with our modern medical treatments, because the way they used to do things in the past was unbelievable. We were presented with a nameless image of an old medical device and had to try and figure out exactly what it was used for. Some of these things, like the dental key or lithotome, were the best they could with at the time and led to extremely painful procedures. Other devices like the tobacco smoke enema and Jedi Helmet didn't survive modern advancements in technology. Then there is the Scold's Bridle, which... man...how could this thing EVER have existed? Which of these things spooked you the most? Any more devices you want me to look at? Let me know down below!

@@juliet5114 I remember when I was in 1st grade, my sister in 2nd (California, 1969). They lined up the entire school in the cafeteria for small pox vaccinations. There we were, shivering and clutching each other, terrified. They moved down the line, shooting each kid in turn. We'd hear a "bang" from the gun then a kid would cry out, and they would move on to the next in line and BANG with another scream... There it was, moving closer and closer to us with the sound of the compressor roaring in our ears. This was how I learned about the inevitability of fate. Oh, and it hurt bad.

Someday, people will (hopefully!) look back in horror with some (most) of the "treatments" of autism - ABA, shocking us, etc. I hope we continue to move toward acceptance of differences and someday look at that with the horror it deserves.

My mother has told me stories about when my older brother was in ABA (for autism), how she'd hear him screaming and crying about whatever it was they were making him do. He was like 5-6 years old. It's allegedly gotten better recently though, and my mom's been sending my adopted younger brother to ABA (for FAS). It seems to be going much better for him, thankfully.

@@emerythegremlin5727 Yeah... what were they doing back then that made kids react that way? I helped out with an ABA clinic and it was "here, let's practice counting, good job, now you can play with the blocks for a minute! Then we can go outside and have a goldfish snack! And then we'll practice sorting pictures to learn object categories, and finally we'll sing some songs and say goodbye!" ABA has a really good reputation among psychologists these days, but I don't know much about the history. Of course, there are always *really* *dumb* *bad* *people* who make up their own pseudoscience-y ways of doing things, so it's possible some "ABA" clinics were Not Good.

I joined the Army in 1991. When it was time to get vaccinations while at Basic Training, there were four doctors / medical personnel in the gymnasium, all with those intramuscular injectors. We stood in line with two doctors on each side shooting us in the arms with those things. The instructions were to not move and do not tense up. Unfortunately, the kid in front of me sneezed at the exact moment the doctor pulled the trigger on the injector. This caused the high PSI stream to tear an 8-inch laceration down his arm all the way to the bone. Through muscle and all like a hot knife cutting through butter. The pain level of an injector wasn't too bad. It burned for a minute at the injection site as a welt formed. We weren't allowed to touch the area at all for some reason. Needless to say, I much prefer regular needles over this any day.

@jjcymbolic 2 жыл бұрын

There were probably more injection points besides where the main stream went through. With that being the case, it'd be similar to a tattoo where there are multiple needles. Though microscopic, the injury would be larger than a normal injection, and more likely to be infected. Hands harbor tons of bacterial. Avoiding touching the injection site makes perfect sense. But...yeesh... the kid in front of you. And thanks for your service!!

It had not really changed in 2005. I do not remember how many doctors or nurses but I remember going into a large gymnasium like room and us all just walking in a single filed line thru different "stations" getting different vaccines.

Even the shots on the card were only documented on that card so most ppl ( me included) had to get again at our duty station because we lost the card sometime after basic in AIT.

I actually had one used on me to remove my tonsils some 10 years ago in local anaesthesia. Injection didn't go all the way in so as the doctor was half way through the first tonsil I started to feel everything. I had to be held to the chair as that must have been the worst pain I had ever felt and I started shaking uncontrollably. Couldn't really breathe either, since the blood just filled my throat in a moment. I got an extra shot of anaesthetic in the second tonsil and that one wasn't so bad... frankly nothing is really so bad after that experience :D That's what you get when a hospital is trying to cut the costs on the full anaesthesia I suppose.

Poor kid had a tonsillectomy, maybe with that guillotine thing...and he was awake for it (no anesthesia available). It was heartbreaking; poor little guy was pleading to not have the surgery, then blood chilling screams as some strong men held him still and the doctor did the surgery.

In fact, it was such a commonly used resuscitation method for drowning victims particularly, that the equipment used in this procedure was hung alongside certain major waterways, such as along the River Thames (equipment courtesy of the Royal Humane Society). People frequenting waterways were expected to know the location of this equipment similar to modern times concerning the location of defibrillators.

@thepaintedcynic6616 2 жыл бұрын

I think you also have to keep in mind that as technology advances, it becomes more difficult to advance further, if that makes sense. The diseases that we have yet to cure are significantly more complicated than the diseases we have previously cured. For example, Cancer. Cancer is super complex because it acts differently for every type of cancer, so there can never be a singular cure for all cancers. However, that doesn't mean there hasn't been advancements in cancer treatment. Nowadays, you have the highest chance of recovering from cancer than ever before. Also, as our diet and lifestyle becomes increasingly more unhealthy, we see more incidence of disease. When we get sick, we want a quick fix from a pill, but that's not necessarily the best option. The diseases that are our top killers (heart disease, cancer, stroke) can be prevented, postponed, or reversed (if caught early enough) by making healthier choices for our bodies.

Ethyl Chloride anaesthetic a gag in with the guillotine tonsil out. Tobacco smoke blown in to the rectum was a very early method of resuscitation, especially for drowning. A litho to my was “ cutting for stone” they originally went in through the perineum.

Honestly, I'm a surgical instrument reprocessing tech, and I think the reactions you're having now will be had in a couple hundred years over how we do orthopedic surgeries. The surgeon has to be both an artist and a surgeon - especially when doing joint replacements. Looking at the instruments and all the tissue/blood still on them when they come down can make one cringe. Still, I love watching the surgeries on YT, since they improve patient's lives so much. Fun vid. It's always nice to look back and see how far we've come.

In 50 years we are going to look back at the entire field of gynecology and call it barbaric … seriously I have biopsy’s done every few months with no sedation or pain meds and am told to go back to work… literally end up a week in bed unable to move… worse if it gets infected.

Please react to some medical documentaries. It would be fascinating to hear your expert opinion on real life scenarios. A British show called 24 Hours in A&E would be a good choice. Somebody in the comments also suggested a show called Mystery Diagnosis.

I honestly do think that at some point, intubation can be a thing of the past. When I had to be intubated, the hospital staff underestimated panic-strength. I look like a twig, but the first night, I snapped the restraints (strips of terry cloth) which were to prevent me from yanking out my IVs and breathing tube. Fortunately, I was unable to yank out the femoral IV and the breathing tube. But it did take four nurses to get me to stop flailing. When I woke up a week later, one nurse said it was hard to get blood glucose readings, since I’d clench my fists super-tight. Just a reaction if getting middle of the night fingersticks my whole life. Super grateful to all doctors and nurses. Especially nurses! They’re the ones who remember you. Saw one of those nurses later at the game shop I work at. “You look great!” “I’m healthy this time.” “I don’t want to see you in the ICU again, okay?” “I plan on staying healthy.”

Why were you restrained? Did they not tell you what was going on before you were intubated?
