welcome Dr Alo Patel world-renowned pediatrician and specialist in debunking misinformation and wearing the same outfit bam we're about to fight misinformation by looking at Old medical instruments I don't know if that's misinformation just be thankful you live in today's times seriously what we're about to see I'm scared for he's scared for we're all scared you should be scared wa you're pulling something that's a like that's like the lawnmower thing dude I'm excited just by like the look of this thing many possibilities possibilities this is a finger relocator yes that's what I was thinking too I swear to God I was thinking you put your finger in there and you pull somebody was either lazy or just wanted to S device I think we both agree that it's extracting it's an extractor Dental Key to pull a tooth the bolster placed against the root of the tooth and the claw over the crown the key was turned dislocating the tooth oh so you're going like this not cool they didn't have sedation back then remember you know what I'll never forget about tooth extractions Castaway I thought you were saying you're going to remember like the toy box at the dentist's office this is like the one thing I remember I got no toys well you went to like the old Russian I went to a Soviet dentist I was like you no light that came for you remember like you want toy you could have toy you have toy you have toy o oh this is beautiful it is pretty it's a suction or an air blower I think that's what I agree with you suction and then where do you put it any hole a lithotone the instr strument consists of a handle and blade that's a blade apparently thus an incision can be made through a prostate gland or bladder of six different breaths what on Earth now 1722 bro they don't know what they were doing no oh my god do you insert it in the uthra and then like hold the blade out and then open the blade inside and then oh my God but this is there's oh my God no dude do you see what I'm saying no I don't want to see it I don't I don't I'm like there's no way that that is small enough to put in your Ur oh my God I think it is I'd say keep the stone this this is I oh wait wait do you see the middle thing that looks like a foot pump you're blowing air it looks like an Ambu bag like it could be to inflate lungs and that thing takes the fluid out of the lungs what other thing can you blow into the human body I mean they were doing some stupid stuff back then you think this is like the old school colonoscopy but then what's the bottom well cuz they would want to you blow air into a colonoscopy before you do it I don't know if they knew to do a colonoscopy in the days this thing tobacco smoke look at the picture oh he's blowing in his butt I could see this coming back they already have it they have coffee anim they sell coffee Animas it's the same thing oh my God indigenous peoples of North America to stimulate respiration wait wa wait they they help people breathe by putting smoke they know that the butt is not connected to the lungs they may not have yeah they look like headphones but it kind of looks like an Apple device is it a helmet a testicular device I see coils on it coils mean electricity it could mean electricity or it could mean like hot water okay so maybe it's a fever stimulator to treat menitis you're taking a deep dive on that one this is a brain freeze device you put this on your head you plug this this thing in plug there were no plugs then I don't know what that what is that white thing then I'm going one of two options fever stimulator makes you your head warm to prevent uh infection of some kind of menitis probably or two some kind of ECT machine that causes electric shocks to your brain let's see it brain freeze device M cool I also heard something outside who has that ever happened we also have one leg going wow MRI Jedi d d d you're going to get us demonetized to take MRI scans of the brain these helmets were worn by children and adults coils are Aerials for picking up MRI signals old school do you think this works worked maybe but I I got to give a shout out to the end of this description yeah and they named it a Star Wars toy so that kids weren't afraid to put it on I like that smart actually okays like a Ry and Weber test for me okay wow yeah perceptive cuz there's a bell on top yeah I don't know maybe I'm wrong there's something restrictive about this right but why the teeth with the angry teeth like maybe it's so you can't really open your jaw but you can still get like food in but what's the purpose of putting the jagged teeth so you don't put your hand in your mouth okay is psych device like schizophrenia or and the bells so they don't run away and they can find them I think we solved this I'm just saying a scold brittle was an instrument of punishment and a form of torture and public humiliation function to silence the victim from speaking entirely Jesus Christ this isn't a medical device it was slid onto the mouth and pressed down on top of the tongue with a spike this prevented speaking and resulted in many unpleasant side effects including excessive salivation and fatigue now do you just ban some from Twitter this is the saw device this should be in a Saw movie you have to tell like you know the combination you know the combination and you have to tell your friend otherwise like the room is going to implode that is really good well done it's a dark morbid but on point idea this is a medical video next oh look like an endoscope like a cheap endoscope okay know what is the Circa time frame you think we're looking at I didn't do well in art history and undergrad me either based on the number there this is like 1700s I don't know was the printing press even in it was right yeah this could be this could be like some some old school ink or something Gutenberg when when was Guttenberg around who's Guttenberg I don't know johanes glutenberg creator of the printing press look at that what my guess same page I think it's involving some type of bloodletting I think it's a colonoscopy device oldy done artificial leash okay you said blood I wasn't that far you said blood leting this instrument allowed for more precise blood lighting and was often used to treat areas around the eyes or temples oh my God how do they know what do you think is going to be the one thing that we're doing now that we're going to look at this in 100 years wo they did this to people maybe it's what you said earlier with colonoscopy maybe in the future when we actually have like video the pills why they put cameras inside of themselves yeah oh I've seen this image before I hope I'm right here cuz I'm going to give a little nod to the power of vaccines I think these are iron lungs oh you might be right the fact that we don't see these anymore speaks to the fact that vaccines work that's a microphone iron lung iron lung you got one no device is more associated with Polo than the tank respirator better known as the lung people who treated acute early stages of polio saw that many patients wable to breathe when the virus actions paralyzed muscle groups in the chest wow so this was like the initial intubation you know what's funny we say like this looks bad but if you think about how artificial respiration is done now that looks pretty bad like inserting a tube into the mouth to dati keeping people on paralytics that could be a barbarian thing that we might look this almost look more com yeah it almost looks like a portable iron LK dude it's breast milk pump but just from one thing yeah I don't know but P you literally shouted it out cuge that was a good quick guess I mean like okay so clearly SP there's a motor spinning motor rotor a person wouldn't go in there right unless it was a hamster what about a baby oh it be an incubator I I don't know if you'd be spinning the baby what if just something outside is spinning for warmth it seems like really inefficient inefficient it does no that isn't first dialysis machine artificial dialysis consider it to be the father of dialysis Dr William cul constructed the first dialer that's an artificial kidney right there dude do you see what he improvised to make it with sausage skins orange juice cans a washing machine and other common items to make a device that could clear the blood of toxins and we said that sausage isn't good for you well that just looks like a SE I'm just going to say it's it's the first x-ray Cobalt cancer therapy well this is really interesting cuz now when a patient gets radiation therapy it's so targeted they have physicists in the room to decide like how to get it in there safely like the radiation oncologist and the physicists do so much work to make sure it's like safe it's the right amount the right time it's a stapler it's a nail gun oh you know what I think you're right because look at the top part the top part looks like it clamps down and then that that needle it looks like it drives a needle down or something to staple Hern hernia tool like this thing looks awful once doctors repaired the tear in the muscle they would insert the hernia tool this thing would be in place for about a week while Scar Tissue formed on it now they just put a mesh and the mesh gets the scar tissue on it and get strong this was the mesh back then so did you walk around you just had this like thing and you were like Great Scot I had a hone on is he fishing it looks like the worst game of laser tag in history no it looks like a vac vaccine device we see a vial of some sort that's upside down so clear that's going into it's spraying downwards and you see on the back it has like a thing a recoil thing maybe it's like an auto inject no I think it's a medic like I am injector I would just stop there which why do you need that for an I am injection cuz you're doing a million in the military you're just kind of like military okay so maybe it's like you just stand there and you're going in like an assembly line jet injector medical device high pressure nrow stream to penetrate the skin instead of a needle ooh these devices were used in 1960s and were successful in Mass vaccination efforts so the jet stream was so strong that you didn't even need a needle that it penetrates the skin dude that's is not but like it's got to hurt it's also now you're now you're subcutaneous subcutaneous with no control and also is it spreading like yeah like what part of the muscle does it stop it oh that's a that's a cutter this is a yeah this is cutting things C dude is that a castrator it's snipping something tongue snipper to snipper tonsil Guillotine oh my God open wide dude can you imagine the pain the bleeding we live in The Best Time
