Old School Surgical Tools

Emily sent me a link to an entry on the Surgical Technologists blog that displays photos and descriptions of 20 of the most frightening devices ever to tear a human body asunder.

    Sorry, my first comment ended up with the “brush with morbidity” comments. Which also made me think of my EX-husband. He needs to have a brush with the old surgical tools.

    Ugh, the cervical dilator, hysteretome and ecraseur gave me the shudders. Imagine undergoing procedures with those fuckers and minimal anasthesia.
