Older exam table

Is there anyone out there who has any literature or catalog from the Hamilton Co. They make exam tables. My mother and grand mother said they had patented a special pair of stirrups called

Fit-All stirrups. It said they can accommodate all types of women's shoes. Perhaps there is a real doctor in the group who might remember. Please

Hmmm...never heard of :-\ I usually take my shoes off...except once I remember. Interesting though 😜

Well melchan when was the one time you can remember?

Hamilton have a unique style of heel stirrups which makes it easy to spot one of their tables. I was not aware they were patented however it does explain why almost all others look exactly the same, and only Hamilton have their own design. You have some pictures of Hamilton stirrups in your album Lynn:

a brilliant answer as usual. I won't give you a karma Dr. because I don't want to spoli the beautiful 333 karma counting. Do you know thw in portugal we don't ask patients to say 99 but 33? (in portuguese off course)

Also in Italy 33 is used ...

These are interesting were they made to accommodate shoes? It kind of seems different to have an exam with your shoes still on. I know this occurred in days of old, but funny how it would not even be something one would think of today.

It looks rather European to me, I have never seen anything like it.

IMO the stirrups look as though they'd be uncomfortable [--more uncomfortable] in bare feet which is certainly the norm in NA.

DrJ58 & Amaral,

I'm confused by the comments about 99 and 33... would you please explain?

Very easy explanation: during the steth's auscultation the doc ask the patient to say 33 ( or 99 ).

In fact 33,33,33 ... is used to feel whith hands put on the back part of the torax the "vocal vibrations" whitch can diseappar in case of pleural diseases as pneumothorax (air in the pleura cavity) or effusin (likid in this cavity)

My wife said her mother who is only 54 today always kept her shoes on when she had a pelvic exam. She said in the days before pantyhose it was very common. It was also for her before a real OB/GYN. Just their family doctor. Small town U S. stockins rolled down to the ankles and shoes in the stirrups. My wife now 27 got her first exam from the same family doctor. She had on socks and penny loafers. Second exam there at 16 she had nylons rolled to the ankles and a pair of 2" pumps. Now she goes to a full time OB/GYN and it's bare foot in the stirrups. Although the stirrups he has are covered in plastic.

My mother kept her shoes on almost every time she went to her doctor. She said it was far easier to keep in the stirrups that way. After her doctor retired all the new one required her bare foot, like all of mine do.

As a play doc, I do the same thing with my 'patients'.

I remember back when my 1st wife had to get an examination. She was allowed to keep her Boots on,and she also had on pantyhose, which had to be pulled down. That is an image that has stayed etched into my memory bank. LoL

Does anyone have pictures/drawings of very old chairs and instruments?

By the way I just found photos in the Gallery Under EXAMINATIONS IUD insertion and x-rays is from the 1965 film Confidence by choice from the Ortho pharmicutical company. Photo seven and eight from the end show the patient wearing high heels in the stirrups. So Lynn was right
