Doctors React To Horrifying Old Medical Devices (5x89)

:

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!
