<p>I’m just happy that things kind of changed these days with medical instruments.</p>
<p><strong>Skull Saw</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="skull-saw" border="0" alt="skull-saw" src="http://www.random-good-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/skullsaw.jpg" width="350" height="226" /> </p>
<p>This hand-cranked saw&#8217;s blades were used to cut through sections of the skull, allowing for access by other instruments.</p>
<p><strong>Circumcision Knife</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Circumcision-Knife" border="0" alt="Circumcision-Knife" src="http://www.random-good-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/CircumcisionKnife.jpg" width="350" height="496" /> </p>
<p>Ritual circumcision is performed around the world in varying extents and for varying reasons, but few instruments used in the process are as intimidating as this European knife from the 18th century.</p>
<p><strong>Hemorrhoid Forceps</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="hemorrhoid forceps" border="0" alt="hemorrhoid forceps" src="http://www.random-good-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/hemorrhoidforceps.jpg" width="350" height="254" /> </p>
<p>These forceps were used to grasp a hemorrhoid between the blades and apply pressure to stop the blood supply, causing the hemorrhoid to drop off.</p>
<p><strong>Hernia Tool</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="hernia tool" border="0" alt="hernia tool" src="http://www.random-good-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/herniatool.jpg" width="350" height="173" /> </p>
<p>This unique tool was used after the restoration of a hernia. It was inserted into the body near the affected area and left there for a week to produce scar tissue that would help seal off the hernia.</p>
<p><strong>Artificial Leech</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Lech stamp" border="0" alt="Lech stamp" src="http://www.random-good-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Lechstamp.jpg" width="350" height="276" /> </p>
<p>Bloodletting with leeches was such a popular treatment for a range of medical conditions that an artificial leech was invented in 1840 and was used frequently in eye and ear surgery. The rotating blades would cut a wound in the patient&#8217;s skin, while the cylinder would be used to produce a vacuum that sucked up the blood.</p>
<p><strong>Scarificator (1910s-20s)</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="scarificator blood" border="0" alt="scarificator blood" src="http://www.random-good-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/scarificatorblood.jpg" width="350" height="250" /> </p>
<p>Scarificators were used in bloodletting. The spring-loaded blades in this device would cut into the skin, and a special rounded glass cup could be applied over the wound. When warmed, it would help draw the blood out at a faster rate.</p>
<p><strong>Tobacco Smoke Enema (1750s-1810s)</strong></p>
<p><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="tabacco Smoke Enema" border="0" alt="tabacco Smoke Enema" src="http://www.random-good-stuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tabaccoSmokeEnema.jpg" width="350" height="266" /> </p>
<p>The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient&#8217;s rectum for various medical purposes, primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims. A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase &quot;blow smoke up one&#8217;s ass.&quot;</p>
