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. I’m not sure which is the most horrifying, but with names like “Tonsil Guillotine,” “Scarificator,” and “Artificial Leech”… well, let’s just be glad that we didn’t need surgery back in those days!
Oh my…..
I wish I had this collection…for my medical play and mind fucking scenes.
Pricless collection no doubt.

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.
