Old medical instruments

Here's something I stumbled upon earlier, should interest most of you. Sure glad we don't use these today, they look a little TOO invasive for my liking. Enjoy 😃.

I like the Tobacco Smoke Enema. I wonder if the tobacco companies were BEHIND it. 😃

Hahahaha! Nice pun there. Seriously though, these are quite fascinating. Glad things have changed. Tonsil guillotine? No thank you!

All those instruments look like they belong in a haynes car manual

Just looked at these again after seeing a recent reply flag up. Let's just say I am even more pleased that things have changed considering the amount of surgery and invasive procedures I've recently had done!!

If you all enjoyed these, you'll love the images from my visit to the medical museum in Leeds, UK:
