OB-GYN Instrument Collection
Warning:  If you or anyone you know expects to do some time in the delivery room and the word "forceps" makes you queasy, you may want to look elsewhere for the time being. Having said that, The College of Physicians of Philadelphia invites you to "step inside the world of medicine" with this tour through antique and modern gadgets employed in the service of obstetrics and gynecology. Highlighted with a bright light and white background, innocuous-sounding instruments such as the inhaler, the speculum, or the scale take on a mind-boggling or even terrifying effect. And yet, at one time or another, doctors have wielded the Anteversion Pessary and the Wire Ecraseur in the interests of women's health. Though we can't fathom the role of the mustard-radish spoon, we're not sure we want to know, either. (in Health > Medicine) |
