My mom remembered when x-rays first came out they were used in …get this……shoe stores. Really! You tried on a pair of shoes and put your foot into the machine and then you could see how the fit was. Especially great for parents to see how much room there was for the kids foot to grow.
Wow!!! That is crazy!!! It’s a good thing that there is nothing nowadays that wasn’t in production very long, or understood very well, before mass-production and distribution so that people couldn’t possibly have any adverse effects from it…
I always like to point out that our method for diagnosing people with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is strapping the person to a table and tilting them up until they pass out (aka the tilt table test) so we’re not entirely past the “torture” phase of medicine yet
@@elafimilo8199 people have different tolerance for experiences. For me, the tilt test was the culmination of two years of misdiagnosis and accusations of hypochondria. The relief of knowing was a huge positive despite the test. For a friend of mine, it was very different, and the test was just one more terrible in a long string of them.
Two doctors invented the chainsaw in 1780 to make the removal of pelvic bone easier and less time-consuming during childbirth. It was powered by a hand crank and looked like a modern-day kitchen knife with little teeth on a chain that wound in an oval.
The fact that we do a huge number of gynecological procedures without any anesthesia because “the cervix has not nerve endings” is probably something we will be looking back at with some side eye in the future. At least I hope so.
Pretty much everything to do with women's health checkups/procedures is already barbaric and stuck in the Dark Ages. It's shameful how little empathy and innovation there is, especially given there are so many women in the field.
please don't! some of these things are just traumatising to imagine. In my school we watched a documentary about the medical experiments the nazis did in concentration camps. because I repeated two classes I had to watch it 3 times. On the third one I just walked of home. Wich lead to some disciplinary consequences at school and therapeutic treatment afterwards. Beware of your students minds. Give hints but the world is gruesome enough!
My mom, to this day, still has a scar on her arm from getting that weird, pressurized vaccination when she was a little kid. I remember she told me once that it absolutely hurt like crazy! This vid was... Disturbingly fascinating..
@@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. Unfortunately. my cool scar has all but disappeared.
That may be from the smallpox vaccine because my mother has the same scar from it. The scar has multiple spots all formed into a small circle around the size of an American penny.
Makes u feel so grateful that u did not live through this time, and at the same time makes you think what the future holds and how relatively better it will be compared to today...
Dr mike and dr. Alok’s accent when impersonating dentists from their respect countries had me literally laughing out loud😂😂 highlight of the video for me
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.
It sounds really morbid, but I think it'd be pretty cool for you to react to full on torture devices and talk about how much damage they would have done.
@@trexmaniac4 I think that they cannot safely remove the device out of his body any more. Besides, maybe all his limbs cannot function normally at all, so there no point changing the state of him being attached to that device
I am SOOOOO glad my OB doctor does local anesthesia for: IUDs and implants!!!!!! Hopefully we will see more doctors utilizing something, because I hear placing IUD's are actually painful.
I had a cervical block when I got my IUD inserted. Frankly it took 76% of the pain away but it was still rather noticeable. Tbh it’s a cervix and it is nerve covered so I wasn’t looking for 100% pain free so I guess hell ye
@@theedmee on the the pain threshold, I unfortunately have a very low pain threshold and it weirdly takes a lot to numb me up. I also have fibromyalgia, which makes ANY procedure that much more difficult to navigate. 9/10 I must be either put completely out or have someone on stand by to catch my randomly thrashing limbs (especially my legs). Pain may help people discover their limits but goddamn.
I went through two cervical biopsies without anything, and they were excruciating. When I had to have a third colposcopy, I told him no, I wouldn't do it without being sedated or something to block pain. But thankfully, they reassured me that there wasn't going to be a biopsy with that one. I just know I _refuse_ to get another cervical biopsy without some sort of numbing, a local, a block, sedation, something. They're traumatizing.
Fun Fact: my mother went to the doctor one time, before I was born, she was asked if she would go into an experimental machine. She said yes, she was the first one to be tested with this machine. Today we call this a C.A.T. scan.
"Tonsil Guillotine ..... 'the bleeding!" One of my uncles (who I never met) died when he was 5 (before my mom was born) due to a hemmorhage after a tonsilectomy. This was around 1940. Apparently the doctors of the era didn't believe in using cauterization when doing this ill-advised procedure.
Not sure if you meant circa 1940, but in today's world a tonsillectomy is an EXTREMELY routine and very helpful surgery. I got sick at least a few times a year and constantly got ear infections until I I my tonsils and adenoids removed.
@@xOrionNebula2708 got mine removed before I was 3yo It was routine to get an infection every 2 weeks or so.... Glad it's a much safer and simpler procedure now days
@@xOrionNebula2708 oh yea, it definitely sucks real bad for a few days. I think I was laid up in bed for a week and a half or so, but my parents were overly cautious, I was fine after about a week. My cousin got hers done 10years after me though and they burned hers off, she was fine 3 days later, and even THAT was over 10yeads ago. So I'm sure these days it probably takes an hour for the surgery and only the rest of the day to recover lol
I hope we look back at doing the iud insertion procedure without sedation, or pain killers to women, and realize how awful that is. Specially women that haven’t had children or have endometriosis like myself. It’s wildly talked about from women that it is excruciating and hurt for many days.
but cant you take the pain medication yourself on the other hand it sounds like an absolute pain especialy since its in an area women dont have control over
You are so right. I was 17 when I had my IUD and the doctor invited students into the room without my consent. One of the most humiliating and painful experiences of my life, I hurt for days.
My brother was one of those physicists in the room, and wrote the computer code for the machines that take an MRI and then treat with radiation shortly after. He left a pretty cool legacy.
My father started his medical training before they used stainless steel instruments and he kept several of the old chrome instruments. He was a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, so they are mostly from that speciality, but there are 2-3 obstetric forceps, a female catheter (that is the same diameter as the male bladder probe in this video!!), I have 2-3 ether anaesthetic cages and a couple of other things! I wish I could post pictures here! They're fascinating!
I feel that in the future, people will look at chemotherapy the way we look at old-school medical devices. Pumping various substances into the body with the hope that it kills cancer faster than it kills you strikes me as barely a step up from letting out "bad humours" so "good" ones can rebalance the body.
I remember getting shots in school using the injector rather than a needle. Later when I went back to college I had to get all my shots again (ie MREs) because the doctor said "Yeah, that didnt work at all". Great.
I think the smallpox vaccine was actually injected with this gun, at least in Italy. Every person born before the 80s has a round-ish scar on their arm due to this. It worked, as we all know.
@@CrystalTrevi The smallpox one is the one that left a scar but isnt the one that they used the gun on. I was actually allergic to the smallpox one and almost died. I still get every vaccination though
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.
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. I don't know what they were although we did get that Lil yellow vaccination card with the names of the vaccines, it just seemed we got more shots then what was on there. 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 think that someday, long after cancer is cured, people are gonna look back at chemotherapy and be absolutely horrified and think it's so primitive and barbaric.
him talking about the dentist office treasure box sparked a core memory for me. When I had my braces at 15-16, after every visit, they had a teenage treasure box that I'd get something from. When I got my braces off, the Dentist got me a nails polish and design set. She always tried to match my braces rubber bands with the nails that I had on that week. She always complimented them so it made me happy to get that as a gift.
There is actualy still one pacient alive in the world that still needs to spend at least 20h/day in the Iron Lungs device. It was really hard for him to find someone who could actualy make maintenance on it since it's so antique and nobody knew anymore how it specificaly worked.
I know the guy u r talking about, he is a lawyer. When it came to the maintenance of the machine, some tech had to basically reverse engineer the machine and rebuild it.
I joined the Air Force in 1992. When I was in basic training they were still using the auto injector for vaccines. The nurse stood there and we all stepped up and got our injections. We were told don't move and it won't draw blood. Those that moved got a small dot of blood. Not moving it felt like a bee sting. You still massaged it to help with swelling.
It makes sense when you need to give a lot of people some injections. Changing needles takes time, you have to do something with used needles,... So I can see why this machine was made.
"Be thankful we live in today's time" We still removed appendixes unnecessarily until like 2007. We are still correcting and improving our knowledge and medicine. That's what awesome about science.
Nobody is denying that there is still lots of ways to improve, but we already went a huge way compared to 50-100 years ago :) i am really haüpy, that i didnt live there
@@arzuriakuroi5323 Yeah, even 30 years ago. "Back then" we didn't know corticosteriods could have truly devasting effects our basics metabolic functions at even a "medium" dose. I'm glad globalization has brought such a fast growth in our knowledge!
What are people in the future going to look back on and say “wow, people really did that?” Imagine how sad Dr. Mike would be if the answer was “chest compressions”. You risked breaking someone’s bones in order to get the heart going? I’m so glad we have AHS, automatic heart start.
@@alegomanYTPsWell, you probably won't find one randomly in a forest (maybe they have them on tourist paths or at the forester's in some place?), probably not in every village as well, so yeah. Unless you have one yourself. Don't they require that someone does CPR between shocks so the person breathes though (or whatever it is for)? So if at some point we'd figure out how to automate that and build it in... Anyway, did I really get what you meant hah.
Chest compressions save lives, if done correctly. My grandfather died due to excessively hard compressions which ended up bursting the heart, but there is no evidence to get him justice, my father and grandmother were sent out of the room, and the camera footage was conveniently ‘lost’. So let the compressions be powerful, but controlled, not reckless.
@@alegomanYTPs Defibrillators don't restart the heart. They just shock an abnormally beating heart back into a normal rhythm. Chest compressions are the best thing we have to keep blood pumping in emergency situations until meds like epinephrine can be given.
As a patient who was intubated and in a coma for nearly 2 months, had a trache and woke up with polyneuropathy I can guarantee that that will be looked back on as barbaric. I knew I was paralyzed but couldn't figure out why. As they moved me up and down off of ecmo my mind incorporated nightmare into reality. I have been working in the medical industry for 10 yrs. I plan the Anaesthetic surgical bookings in 29 hospitals in my city. All this time I've been arranging intubations and traches and CVP's and A-Line. I had no idea what those patients were going through. Very few people in the hospitals do (Doctors, nurses, managers) It's completely insane because on the coma support groups it's entirely common. I'd die before I allowed to be ventilated again. More people should really know.
Did nobody talk to you? Like, doctors or nurses? Idk. I feel like medical professionals should talk to comatose patients about the procedures they're doing on them just in case they can hear them. Maybe that's just me.
@@TrueRival I'm sure they did. My anaesthetist was my boss of 10 yrs and a very kind human being. Unfortunately people don't realize how deeply your surroundings are incorporated.
Being intubated is honestly one of my greatest fears. Imagine being so helpless as to not being able to breath on your own... To me being on life support is just something to prolong dying, you don't even live, you just exist, so it what is the point of it anyway?
@@almogazoulay4454 I mean, to be fair, I did survive. But what they can do is put you on life support while you are conscious. You can literally walk around while on life support. All this time they thought it was better to put a person under but the horrors that you dream up in your mind will always be worse than reality. I was in multiple organ failure, septic, my baby had just died in my arms and had covid and Klebsiella (died and was resuscitated 4 times) And I still would ask to remain conscious on life support if I ever had to do it again.
Is this the same type of intubation than what's performed for COVID patients? If so, we're going to have a crapload of traumatized people everywhere now...
I read Roald Dahl's autobiography when I was in the second grade. He described having an adenoidectomy at a young age (I think it was the 1920s). Even 25+ years later that description still haunts me. That they would just cut into a kids mouth and throat without any warning was terrifying to me. It's no wonder kids were afraid of doctors. I'm sure the storys were shared in the school yard.
I saw some sort of documentary about Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Supplies were very hard to come by, and this hospital barely had anything, but did its best to still treat patients. Little boy, maybe 8 years old, kept having severe, frequent throat infections. I don't recall if there were antibiotics that he failed, or if there just weren't any antibiotics to try. 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. The surgeon was really skilled; maybe took one minute to get both tonsils, but I'm sure was the worst minute of that kid's life to that point 🥺
Back in the late 1700s, however, doctors literally blew smoke up people’s rectums. Believe it or not, it was a general mainstream medical procedure used to, among many other things, resuscitate people who were otherwise presumed dead. 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.
The smoke enema was literally the precursor to the defibrillator. It was believed that the tobacco would stimulate the heart and get it to pump again. They didn't know about CHEST COMPRESSIONS back then.
Dr. Mike pronounced it "brittle" but it's a bridle (sounds like Bridal) like the part of the horse's reins that goes in the mouth and is used to control the direction and speed of the horse. The "Scold's bridle" was used almost exclusively on women. It is in fact a torture device, not a medical device. Although arguably there was a fine line between the two a few hundred years ago.
As an equestrian, I must correct your correction. A headstall is the part that goes around the horses head. It has various straps, like the cheek pieces, the throat latch and the nose band. The bit goes in the mouth. The reins attach to the bit and the rider's hands are used to communicate with the horse through the reins. The whole complex, together, is the bridle. Also, you actually control speed and direction with your body- mostly your legs, seat and core.
In the future, the Cervical Biopsy Punch will definitely be on the list, especially when you consider it's usually performed without anethstesia. Also, mammography machines. Really, probably most current tools and procedures involved in female health.
I had a leep procedure done, they hadn't properly grounded the machine and I performed the exorcist on the table as my body involuntarily convulsed. They stopped for a minute to reconfigure everything than finished the procedure... it was not a fun experience. Do not recommend.
@@dawnjensen6560 My (male) doc with that "just a little pinch" BS!!! I wonder how he'd feel about me kicking him in the b&lls and me telling him "you'll just feel a little pressure".
😬😬😬😬😬 That tooth puller would be horrifying because you’re awake and it just looks terrifying. I don’t like the dentist but I’m glad they don’t use that
Dentists actually use something similar today. It’s just smaller. Instead of having a long handle, they look like a pair of pliers with the same end that the device in the video has. The biggest difference is that we have anesthesia nowadays lol
I'm assuming that most of these devices would be used on someone who was intoxicated since, before anesthesia, alcohol was frequently used to treat pain.
@@chrisdugas1226 With that type of tooth extraction tool the patient would be positioned with their head between the dentist's legs, looking up, so the dentist could get a good grip on the tooth.
Hey, Mike, My grandfather has this idea that modern medicine hasn't cured anything in the last 50 years cause "research companies" don't allow cures cause treatments cost people more money then a cure would. I'd love to see you talk about, things that have been cured in the last 50 years, I've struggled to find things, searching just talks about vaccines. I'd also love to see you talk about why things like, heart disease can't just be cured. Happy for input but keep it nice guys!
Fun fact: Penicillin (the first known antibiotic) was only discovered in 1928 -- less than 100 years ago. Since then it's been a wild time of discovering all sorts of medical cures, and not just for antibiotics. It'd be really cool to see a video about that, good suggestion. As far as finding research / reliable sources - be as specific as possible in search engines. Try searching for a specific disease (chronic or infectious) that has a cure, instead of searching for diseases that have been cured. :)
Apart from vaccines, prosthesis (like artificial heart valves) and antibiotics? There is an endless refinement in treating diseases that goes on all the time. But vaccines curing disease and antiobiotics treating it is still pretty good. Sure,. 50 years now means the 1970s, when most of the infectious childhood diseases were eradicated using vaccines and only survived in pockets of population either too poor or too stupid to use them. But there are a few diseases that have come up since then, vaccinations against the common flu is an ongonig battle that saves thousands of lives every year.
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.
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.
Hi my dear friend. I’M here because My mother can't work now because she had uterine cancer surgery. My father and mother are divorced and my father does not pay alimony us. Thats why, I have to take care of my mother and sister .You may think I'm a bot, but I'm not.I try to get my voice heard to people through comments. So, can you help me as my follower on here ? Thank you so much...
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.
Is it just called Surgery where they film surgeries of people and I remember one time the two surgeons where comparing how small they managed to cut their hole😂
I love medical history so thank you for this! At 8:54 I recognized that one from vaccinations in the Air Force in 1990's when they herded us through the vaccine line like cattle and didn't clean their instrument- it was just shot after shot. This was back in the early days of the AIDS epidemic. They didn't stop using these until 1997.
As a veterinarian the bordizzo has so many various looks that every time you see a big set of pliers you like is this for castration. Also wires are a debate of can i cut with it or will it snap. Every hardware shop near a large animal vet has had a day when the vet came to ask ehst is th toughest metal wire they have and hot horrified of what we use it for.
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.
Fun fact. My father had a jet injector used on him when he served in the army. He was born in 1939 and served in 1958. He has told me many stories about how much he hated the jet injector.
This had me dying of laughter! Especially Dr Mike.. "Do... Do they know that the butt is not connected to the lungs?" It was actually one of the earliest forms of CPR in the 18th century. Intra-rectal tobacco insufflation. The heat from the smoke was thought to promote rescuscitation; when used on drowning victims, primarily. Don't ask me how I know this...
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.”
@@flandrescarlet506 breathing tube and multiple IVs. I was completely sedated for a full week, and that was due to the catastrophic survival mode my body entered when I was unable to afford insulin and decent food. It was just a whole pile of things that went wrong all at once
I worked at an 18th-century physician office and apothecary shop, giving presentations about medicine from that time. The only rule was that if you made a visitor throw up, you had to clean it up.
What they’re going to look back on 200 years from now is the lack of pain mitigation in women’s healthcare. I have had uterine biopsies with NO numbing agents. IUDs are inserted and removed with NO pain medications. And as a bonus, the fact that many women have to get permission from their husband to get a tubal ligation or hysterectomy. Edited to add: the existence of conversion therapy will probably horrify them, but there aren’t any tools involved, so I wonder if it’ll just get swept under the rug.
Can confirm, IUD insertion was the worst pain I've experienced and women are expected to go through this with no pain management beyond OTC stuff beforehand which is not even commonly recommended or mentioned before the procedure.
And many other countries wouldn’t even consider inserting an IUD without sedation! In the states, “take some advil beforehand.” So helpful. 😑 I’ve had four (third one expelled when I got home and had to have it removed and replaced) and each one was hell to get inserted. Better than natural childbirth, though (I imagine), so I’ll keep getting them until my body no longer requires contraception.
My dad was subjected to the jet injector when he was in the Army in the 1960s. He told me that sometimes the people administering the injections got the wrong angle and blew off chunks of flesh from people's arms.
These guys are one of the most intelligent people when it comes to medical devices and I'm sitting here as an eighth grader, like: *"HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW GUTENBERG"*
I'm out of school, never went to college but i graduated form highscool and I never learned gutenberg or whatever, and i don't know much about medical devices other than what doctors use nowadays.
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.
My grandad told me that when he was young, people thought his seizures meant that he was possessed by a demon... I mean epilepsy sucks but I’m glad I have it now rather than back then lmao
Yup, my uncle had schizophrenia back in the 50s and it was said he probably sinned and was possessed by the devil. He never received any treatment and unfortunately took his own life
I have epilepsy and the history of the condition is crazy! Most Christian countries believed that epliepsy was a sign of demonic possession and some people with seizure disorders were even sent to asylums. Ancient Rome and Greece believed that you were either possessed by evil spirits or could converse with the gods during seizures. Ancient Islamic physicians were the first to correctly figure out that seizures start in the brain and are not caused by possession at all.
My ex stepfather (aka my abuser's lapdog) once had a seizure in the stairwell to our apartment. Our neighbour (our landlord's wife) tried a makeshift exorcism
Looking at the iron lungs made me think of Sister Kenny, who developed a very effective treatment for polio victims, using hot cloths and stretching exercises. Alan Alda had polio as a child and his parents took him to one of her clinics. Really interesting story.
4:08 Fun fact- in the game Legend of Zelda: Majora’s mask, there is a mask similar to this devise Link can obtain called the “All Night” mask. It held the users eyes open to keep them awake and was based off an old torture devise that prevents the user from sleeping. The device the mask as based on (and the mask itself) has a resemblance to the device shown here.
Yeah! The Scold's Bridle was for stopping the wearer of it from talking, not from closing their eyes and sleeping! But yeah, it does kind of look like the All Night Mask in Termina from 'Majora's Mask'! :D
@@anotherenclosedlivingbeing1989 lol! Yeah! I think that 'Majora's Mask' is a scary and spooky 'Legend of Zelda' game, but I don't think that it's the scariest so far! 'Twilight Princess' is also scary and spooky too sometimes! XD
@@megalisa830bright6 I wasn’t saying that the Scold’s Bridle was keeping people’s eyes open, I just wanted to mention it was similar to other torture divides that did keep eyes open. Also, did you know Majora’s Mask is coming to the Nintendo Switch soon?
@@shenanigans256 Ah, I see! XD And yeah, I did know that 'Majora's Mask' is going to be on Nintendo Switch Online! I'm a very big fan of Nintendo, and the 'Super Mario' and 'Legend of Zelda' games! :D
The level of pain I felt while just looking and listening to those instruments is out of the world 😃 I have no idea how you two survived that 😭 hats off to you 😭🧢
We will look back at how we treat women in medicine and be absolutely disgusted with ourselves for never giving women any numbing or pain relief during extremely invasive procedures
Yes! I think being heavily sedated or knocked out for a cervical biopsy should be routine. I can't tell you how glad I am that I ended up having a hysterectomy and will never have to go thru that again.

there is actually 1 person left on an iron lung. I believe he's still alive, but he's the last. There's an interview with the gentleman on TH-cam! Id love to see you do a video on him Edit; his name is Paul Alexander
He could switch to a modern alternative (ie respirator) but chooses not to. Basically, yes, we still have and use iron lungs for lung paralysis, they just look very different and we call them something else.
@@Terahnee I watched a video on this basically the new stuff won’t work for his case the iron lung is the only thing that works apparently if u want u can search it up I forgot everything in the video lol
@@elinbird00 i think the newer ones are designed for earlier stages of polio. He can use the mobile ones but only for very short periods of time.

I have a surgery scheduled to have my tonsils out. All I keep hearing is how much more painful it is the older you are, and I'm now in my 30s. That last thing gave me a visceral reaction.
I feel like one of the medical practices we do now that will seem barbaric in the future is chemo. You are basically ingesting poison in hopes that it kills the cancer but it also kills good cells too.
Doctors and scientists have been trying (and still do) for YEARS to find a cure for cancer. This is the best option we have rn, so yes, we are ingesting a very powerful drug into the system BUT this drug have saved millions of people around the world. My friend who had cancer said that they would repeat this process if it means they can have their life back. Today thay live happy and healthy
Chemotherapy: yes it works but i get the feeling they will look back and be horrified that we used to flood the body with toxins. Also as someone who had a tooth pulled earlier this year: the tool hasn't changed that much apart from the materials its made from.
I watch several veterinarian shows and I've definitely seen clamp-like tools still used in large animal veterinary work to heal hernias and stuff without stitching. Generally on cattle and horses, since they aren't always easy to keep confined and handle to treat open wounds frequently to reduce infection while a suture site heals. So it's to clamp off excess tissues, which then dies/falls off due to lack of blood supply and the remaining skin heals together leaving no more hole.
A fairly recent advancement that I personally am very grateful for is ablation therapy. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with Wolf-Parkinson-White, which you can only get by being born with. At first I was resentful that it went undiagnosed until my late 30's, until I realized that if it was diagnosed when I was a kid it would have meant open heart surgery.
Dr Mike's English is so good I get shocked when he can't say "bridle" or Gutenberg correctly. Also, I saw on tv at some point in the last couple years that there is/was still one person who uses an iron lung! She's only in it for part of the day and it's at her house, and she said it helps her. I think that's pretty cool. And I fully appreciate that we know about germs/bacteria AND anesthesia now--it was a rough few minutes there when we only knew how to keep ppl from screaming and dying of shock during surgery but didn't know we also had to keep the wound/surgery site clean. Doctors were ready to get in there now that the scourge of pain was defeated, no time for such silly affectations like washing your instruments or clothing! And of course everyone can gather round the patient! (Things sucked before that, too--gotta love that one surgery with a single patient yet THREE fatalities--but at least doctors knew to only operate as a last resort.)
There’s a certain small taboo device that was used for treating “hysteria” in women. The device itself is harmless, and wouldn’t be seen as crazy by todays standards, but it’s use back then is certainly… unusual by todays standards. Not sure how the algorithm works so I won’t name the device but I’m sure you can find it online.
ya, I found it interesting that "that device" was not included in the video.. lol. but as you said by today's standards not a big deal anymore. Except that Doctors back in the day, were treating the Hysteria as a medical treatment.
@@Cattrix999 Yeah, and it usually wasn't even hysteria, either. Women came in with legit problems and were brushed off as being hysterical. Not a lot has changed since then, sadly.
I just finished 3 weeks of having two surgical drains in my abdomen to clear the infection caused by my appendix bursting and every single second of it was horrible. That seems like something we'll have a much quicker and less painful and invasive way of treating a few decades from now. At least I sure hope so.

My grandma was upset because they didn’t have side by side crypts available, only over and under. My grandpa said he was happy because he preferred to “be on top”😂😂😂😂
I think people will look back at how we have this conception that periods and childbirth are naturally painful and so nothing should be done for it. I've heard so many stories where women were discouraged from using anti inflammatory medicines for periods and women getting treated like cattle stalk during childbirth even though we have the technology to significantly reduce the pain.

My mom remembered when x-rays first came out they were used in …get this……shoe stores. Really! You tried on a pair of shoes and put your foot into the machine and then you could see how the fit was. Especially great for parents to see how much room there was for the kids foot to grow.
One of my friends had a relative who became an amputee because of those... too much radiation from constant use of the shoe store x-rays.
Yes. Floroscopes.
I'm 75, when I got new school shoes my feet were put in the x-ray machine. That was a real device.
Wow!!! That is crazy!!! It’s a good thing that there is nothing nowadays that wasn’t in production very long, or understood very well, before mass-production and distribution so that people couldn’t possibly have any adverse effects from it…

I always like to point out that our method for diagnosing people with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is strapping the person to a table and tilting them up until they pass out (aka the tilt table test) so we’re not entirely past the “torture” phase of medicine yet

@@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. Unfortunately. my cool scar has all but disappeared.
That may be from the smallpox vaccine because my mother has the same scar from it. The scar has multiple spots all formed into a small circle around the size of an American penny.

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.
I pray that day comes soon
@@emerythegremlin5727 Yeah... what were they doing back then that made kids react that way?

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.

Pain may help people discover their limits but goddamn.
I went through two cervical biopsies without anything, and they were excruciating. When I had to have a third colposcopy, I told him no, I wouldn't do it without being sedated or something to block pain. But thankfully, they reassured me that there wasn't going to be a biopsy with that one.

I remember getting shots in school using the injector rather than a needle. Later when I went back to college I had to get all my shots again (ie MREs) because the doctor said "Yeah, that didnt work at all". Great.
I think the smallpox vaccine was actually injected with this gun, at least in Italy. Every person born before the 80s has a round-ish scar on their arm due to this. It worked, as we all know.
Is that the one that left a scar?
@@CrystalTrevi The smallpox one is the one that left a scar but isnt the one that they used the gun on. I was actually allergic to the smallpox one and almost died. I still get every vaccination though
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.
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. I don't know what they were although we did get that Lil yellow vaccination card with the names of the vaccines, it just seemed we got more shots then what was on there. 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.
My husband had his shots in the army in 1966 this way. If they bled from the shot, they had to do pushups. They would bleed if they jerked.
Went through the vaccine assembly line for basic in 2015. They just take your card and jab you as you go. The peanut butter shot is now a pill though.
THATS TERRIFYING.
I think that someday, long after cancer is cured, people are gonna look back at chemotherapy and be absolutely horrified and think it's so primitive and barbaric.

I joined the Air Force in 1992. When I was in basic training they were still using the auto injector for vaccines. The nurse stood there and we all stepped up and got our injections. We were told don't move and it won't draw blood. Those that moved got a small dot of blood. Not moving it felt like a bee sting. You still massaged it to help with swelling.

I knew I was paralyzed but couldn't figure out why. As they moved me up and down off of ecmo my mind incorporated nightmare into reality.
I have been working in the medical industry for 10 yrs.
I plan the Anaesthetic surgical bookings in 29 hospitals in my city.
All this time I've been arranging intubations and traches and CVP's and A-Line. I had no idea what those patients were going through.
Very few people in the hospitals do (Doctors, nurses, managers)
It's completely insane because on the coma support groups it's entirely common.
I'd die before I allowed to be ventilated again. More people should really know.
Did nobody talk to you? Like, doctors or nurses? Idk. I feel like medical professionals should talk to comatose patients about the procedures they're doing on them just in case they can hear them. Maybe that's just me.
@@TrueRival
I'm sure they did. My anaesthetist was my boss of 10 yrs and a very kind human being. Unfortunately people don't realize how deeply your surroundings are incorporated.
Being intubated is honestly one of my greatest fears. Imagine being so helpless as to not being able to breath on your own... To me being on life support is just something to prolong dying, you don't even live, you just exist, so it what is the point of it anyway?
@@almogazoulay4454
I mean, to be fair, I did survive.
But what they can do is put you on life support while you are conscious.
You can literally walk around while on life support.
All this time they thought it was better to put a person under but the horrors that you dream up in your mind will always be worse than reality.
I was in multiple organ failure, septic, my baby had just died in my arms and had covid and Klebsiella (died and was resuscitated 4 times)
And I still would ask to remain conscious on life support if I ever had to do it again.
Is this the same type of intubation than what's performed for COVID patients? If so, we're going to have a crapload of traumatized people everywhere now...

I read Roald Dahl's autobiography when I was in the second grade. He described having an adenoidectomy at a young age (I think it was the 1920s). Even 25+ years later that description still haunts me. That they would just cut into a kids mouth and throat without any warning was terrifying to me. It's no wonder kids were afraid of doctors. I'm sure the storys were shared in the school yard.
which one did you read? I read one also but it must have been the kid friendly one
I saw some sort of documentary about Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Supplies were very hard to come by, and this hospital barely had anything, but did its best to still treat patients. Little boy, maybe 8 years old, kept having severe, frequent throat infections. I don't recall if there were antibiotics that he failed, or if there just weren't any antibiotics to try. 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. The surgeon was really skilled; maybe took one minute to get both tonsils, but I'm sure was the worst minute of that kid's life to that point 🥺
Oh gosh I think I read something similar but I don't remember from where
It is from his autobiography, Boy
That's exactly where my brain went with the tonsil guillotine! That story was harrowing
The Synergy between them is amazing
Back in the late 1700s, however, doctors literally blew smoke up people’s rectums. Believe it or not, it was a general mainstream medical procedure used to, among many other things, resuscitate people who were otherwise presumed dead. 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.
The smoke enema was literally the precursor to the defibrillator. It was believed that the tobacco would stimulate the heart and get it to pump again. They didn't know about CHEST COMPRESSIONS back then.
Did... Did it actually work??
@@Alyy_Cat Smoke enemas were as successful as trying to resuscitate a drowned person by rubbing sage essential oil on their third chakra.
@@Alyy_Cat Doubtful. Haven't you ever heard the phrase "blowing smoke up his @$$" to refer to someone bs-ing someone else?
I was gonna say the same thing.
Love the effects on part where one says "How many possibilities", it's like straight up scene of some torture scene xD
Dr. Mike pronounced it "brittle" but it's a bridle (sounds like Bridal) like the part of the horse's reins that goes in the mouth and is used to control the direction and speed of the horse. The "Scold's bridle" was used almost exclusively on women. It is in fact a torture device, not a medical device. Although arguably there was a fine line between the two a few hundred years ago.
Hi Caren
As an equestrian, I must correct your correction. A headstall is the part that goes around the horses head. It has various straps, like the cheek pieces, the throat latch and the nose band. The bit goes in the mouth. The reins attach to the bit and the rider's hands are used to communicate with the horse through the reins. The whole complex, together, is the bridle. Also, you actually control speed and direction with your body- mostly your legs, seat and core.
it's terrible that they had to use that kind of thing on people back then WHY!?
@@MsCruisein Lol, yes, I forgot all my bridle and riding facts long ago, and failed to check my facts. Cheers, thanks!
@@jocelynecupcake They didn't HAVE to, it was a punishment. Because as horrible and barbaric as people can be, they used to be worse.
In the future, the Cervical Biopsy Punch will definitely be on the list, especially when you consider it's usually performed without anethstesia. Also, mammography machines.
Really, probably most current tools and procedures involved in female health.
Yes! The cervical biopsy without anesthesia is cruel. It is soooo painful, and it's cruel for a doc to say it's just a little pinch.
@@gingerwinechester5520 had a male doctor say that it’s just a little pinch. I asked him how the hell did he know.

That tooth puller would be horrifying because you’re awake and it just looks terrifying. I don’t like the dentist but I’m glad they don’t use that
Dentists actually use something similar today. It’s just smaller. Instead of having a long handle, they look like a pair of pliers with the same end that the device in the video has. The biggest difference is that we have anesthesia nowadays lol
I'm assuming that most of these devices would be used on someone who was intoxicated since, before anesthesia, alcohol was frequently used to treat pain.
@@chrisdugas1226 With that type of tooth extraction tool the patient would be positioned with their head between the dentist's legs, looking up, so the dentist could get a good grip on the tooth.

Hey, Mike, My grandfather has this idea that modern medicine hasn't cured anything in the last 50 years cause "research companies" don't allow cures cause treatments cost people more money then a cure would. I'd love to see you talk about, things that have been cured in the last 50 years, I've struggled to find things, searching just talks about vaccines. I'd also love to see you talk about why things like, heart disease can't just be cured.
Happy for input but keep it nice guys!
Fun fact: Penicillin (the first known antibiotic) was only discovered in 1928 -- less than 100 years ago. Since then it's been a wild time of discovering all sorts of medical cures, and not just for antibiotics. It'd be really cool to see a video about that, good suggestion.
As far as finding research / reliable sources - be as specific as possible in search engines. Try searching for a specific disease (chronic or infectious) that has a cure, instead of searching for diseases that have been cured. :)
this probably only applies to big pharma (I would put pfizer in that class, but
they may have actually created something useful this last year
Apart from vaccines, prosthesis (like artificial heart valves) and antibiotics?
There is an endless refinement in treating diseases that goes on all the time.
But vaccines curing disease and antiobiotics treating it is still pretty good.
Sure,. 50 years now means the 1970s, when most of the infectious childhood diseases were eradicated using vaccines and only survived in pockets of population either too poor or too stupid to use them. But there are a few diseases that have come up since then, vaccinations against the common flu is an ongonig battle that saves thousands of lives every year.
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.
Maybe look for how many things were cured over 50 years ago for a standard to compare to.

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.
Artist and Surgeon? More like Carpenter and Surgeon.

At 8:54 I recognized that one from vaccinations in the Air Force in 1990's when they herded us through the vaccine line like cattle and didn't clean their instrument- it was just shot after shot. This was back in the early days of the AIDS epidemic. They didn't stop using these until 1997.
“Is that a castrator” is the most terrifying question you could possibly ask
As a veterinarian the bordizzo has so many various looks that every time you see a big set of pliers you like is this for castration. Also wires are a debate of can i cut with it or will it snap.

But can we make it better now.
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.
Fun fact. My father had a jet injector used on him when he served in the army. He was born in 1939 and served in 1958. He has told me many stories about how much he hated the jet injector.

This had me dying of laughter! Especially Dr Mike.. "Do... Do they know that the butt is not connected to the lungs?"
It was actually one of the earliest forms of CPR in the 18th century. Intra-rectal tobacco insufflation. The heat from the smoke was thought to promote rescuscitation; when used on drowning victims, primarily.

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?

What they’re going to look back on 200 years from now is the lack of pain mitigation in women’s healthcare. I have had uterine biopsies with NO numbing agents. IUDs are inserted and removed with NO pain medications.
And as a bonus, the fact that many women have to get permission from their husband to get a tubal ligation or hysterectomy.
Edited to add: the existence of conversion therapy will probably horrify them, but there aren’t any tools involved, so I wonder if it’ll just get swept under the rug.
That's bad
Can confirm, IUD insertion was the worst pain I've experienced and women are expected to go through this with no pain management beyond OTC stuff beforehand which is not even commonly recommended or mentioned before the procedure.
They better use at least SOME lube for the insertion, RIGHT!?
And many other countries wouldn’t even consider inserting an IUD without sedation! In the states, “take some advil beforehand.” So helpful. 😑 I’ve had four (third one expelled when I got home and had to have it removed and replaced) and each one was hell to get inserted. Better than natural childbirth, though (I imagine), so I’ll keep getting them until my body no longer requires contraception.
Oh so true. Everything in a woman's life supposedly gotta hurt for some reason. Periods, sex, pregnancy, childbirth, life in general ughhh

I know ppl who still think that
Yup, my uncle had schizophrenia back in the 50s and it was said he probably sinned and was possessed by the devil. He never received any treatment and unfortunately took his own life
I have epilepsy and the history of the condition is crazy! Most Christian countries believed that epliepsy was a sign of demonic possession and some people with seizure disorders were even sent to asylums. Ancient Rome and Greece believed that you were either possessed by evil spirits or could converse with the gods during seizures. Ancient Islamic physicians were the first to correctly figure out that seizures start in the brain and are not caused by possession at all.

You should see what was used to make the first flexible contact lenses.
I watch several veterinarian shows and I've definitely seen clamp-like tools still used in large animal veterinary work to heal hernias and stuff without stitching. Generally on cattle and horses, since they aren't always easy to keep confined and handle to treat open wounds frequently to reduce infection while a suture site heals. So it's to clamp off excess tissues, which then dies/falls off due to lack of blood supply and the remaining skin heals together leaving no more hole.
A fairly recent advancement that I personally am very grateful for is ablation therapy. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with Wolf-Parkinson-White, which you can only get by being born with. At first I was resentful that it went undiagnosed until my late 30's, until I realized that if it was diagnosed when I was a kid it would have meant open heart surgery.
bro i just found this video i know its made like a year ago but i just wanna say you guys give the exact same vibe and i love it
Dr Mike's English is so good I get shocked when he can't say "bridle" or Gutenberg correctly. Also, I saw on tv at some point in the last couple years that there is/was still one person who uses an iron lung! She's only in it for part of the day and it's at her house, and she said it helps her. I think that's pretty cool.
And I fully appreciate that we know about germs/bacteria AND anesthesia now--it was a rough few minutes there when we only knew how to keep ppl from screaming and dying of shock during surgery but didn't know we also had to keep the wound/surgery site clean. Doctors were ready to get in there now that the scourge of pain was defeated, no time for such silly affectations like washing your instruments or clothing! And of course everyone can gather round the patient! (Things sucked before that, too--gotta love that one surgery with a single patient yet THREE fatalities--but at least doctors knew to only operate as a last resort.)
There’s a certain small taboo device that was used for treating “hysteria” in women. The device itself is harmless, and wouldn’t be seen as crazy by todays standards, but it’s use back then is certainly… unusual by todays standards. Not sure how the algorithm works so I won’t name the device but I’m sure you can find it online.
If it's what I think it is, it would probably be safe to just say it went *bzzzzzz* and saved the doctors from sore wrists.
ya, I found it interesting that "that device" was not included in the video.. lol. but as you said by today's standards not a big deal anymore. Except that Doctors back in the day, were treating the Hysteria as a medical treatment.
@@Cattrix999 Yeah, and it usually wasn't even hysteria, either. Women came in with legit problems and were brushed off as being hysterical. Not a lot has changed since then, sadly.
That certain device was actually the first electrical appliance available for the home along with the vacuum
It’s a vibe!
I just finished 3 weeks of having two surgical drains in my abdomen to clear the infection caused by my appendix bursting and every single second of it was horrible. That seems like something we'll have a much quicker and less painful and invasive way of treating a few decades from now. At least I sure hope so.
My my had an infection like that, except they got it just in time.
Please bring back Dr. Alok more. Really enjoyed his videos specially that reacting to bollywood stuff too. this is the type of entertainment i LOVE to see
the scold's bridle was specifically for "nagging" women, it's important that medical and psyche misogyny doesn't get erased.
@@ireallydontcare9696 I guess some people shouldn't have a right to free speech after all. Hint: it's not the women
@@ireallydontcare9696 you should be brought back lmoa
@@ireallydontcare9696 got the whole squad laughing 🦗🦗🦗
@@magnus_bane You know what they say about people who assume dude 😂
I’m a woman. But it’s hilarious to me that you decided to blame every man in the world for my joke hahahahahahahahaha “hint: it’s not the women!” Bahahahahaha yeah actually it is because I’m a woman!
I’m not one or these “new age” women either! I’m actually a woman, who was born a woman, with woman parts that also feels like a woman bahahahaha we are rare these days.. soon we’ll be in museums because people like you keep fighting for the wrong thing and keep saying “it’s for the minorities like women!” But in reality it’s not. Do us a favour and don’t defend us in the future, we don’t need you x
@@BubblyDAlley yeah ok eradicate humanity
I learned how to make a dialysis machine by watching MASH in the seventies. As a child in the sixties I visited other children in iron lungs, post vaccine. One actually made it out. There used to be a cobalt therapy machine as an exhibit in the Ontario Science Centre. It's huge.
So your using TH-cam when your over 80?
The vaccine works.
@@arandomguythatlivesinAustr2239 m1t2a1 said they were a child in the 60s. So that's 60 or so years ago. So they're either late 60s to late 70s. Regardless, there are definitely seniors on TH-cam. That's just a fact. Actually, a newyork times article from 2016 stated, older adults online "are a part of the fastest-growing demographic on social media". So, it's pretty ignorant to question someone's age because they are "using TH-cam" when they might be over 80.
@@labj143 just realised my math was incredibly incorrect
@@arandomguythatlivesinAustr2239 I don't think you have much room to talk when you use "your" (possessive) instead of "you're" (contraction of "you are")... Also, the internet is for adults of any age. Someone else already corrected your math, but the point still stands that, according to common practices, anyone 13 years and older may use the internet without adult supervision.
Yes all these old devices seem so crazy to us now but we wouldn't have the medical technology that we have today without the trial and error of the past so be grateful to everyone from those times for coming up with some wild ideas!
I like how they have that iron lung stacked with people, LOL. It reminds me of when my grandparents bought their burial crypts many years ago. My grandma was upset because they didn’t have side by side crypts available, only over and under. My grandpa said he was happy because he preferred to “be on top”😂😂😂😂
I think people will look back at how we have this conception that periods and childbirth are naturally painful and so nothing should be done for it. I've heard so many stories where women were discouraged from using anti inflammatory medicines for periods and women getting treated like cattle stalk during childbirth even though we have the technology to significantly reduce the pain.
I mean, at least here in Germany you can like always just say that you want a C-Section.
@@foty8679 It will never fail to amaze me that people *elect* to have a c-section. No... just no. Don't come near me with a scalpel unless I'm gonna die.
@@toxicginger9936yeah I’m on the same page as you no thanks I’m not trying to be SLICED OPEN
@@toxicginger9936less painful tho :) (im kidding, just use pain meds)
