What were they thinking back then ??
 

This was sent from a friend, thought it was interesting enough to post.
I couldn't help but wonder about all the crazy shizz they did back then medicinally. Leeches,Blood letting,drilling holes in your head without anesthesia etc.

I always wondered where that phrase came from.

According to your information, An amazing thing is that this went on for 60 years?!!! :surprised:

I don't like Doctors. LOL

I had a terrible thought ?

What If ; Somebody didn't have one of these and they had to introduce the smoke into the rectum manually ????? Pucker Up ! :rofl:

If you thinking that's F'd up... look up the original therapies for women's "hysteria" back in the victorian days.
Now married women had husbands to deliver therapuetic "messages," but what about all those young virginal women, as well as widows? A doctors hand could get very tired after a hard day at the office, so it was neccesary to invent steam-powered vibrators to assist the busy doctor, as women needed repeated treatment for their disease.
And I thought the Sybian on the Stern was OTT. :)

I won't post a pic, but juct google "steam hysteria"

thats how Steely Dan got their name..........

Interesting. 0_o

I was just thinking chemotherapy will look just as cruel and arcane in 100 years....

Rejected by the US patent office... :lol:

Who would try to patent- blowing smoke up someone's ass :rofl:

Bankers &/or lawyers?

I believe OB may have a team working on that as we speak.

You wouldn't be trying to blow smoke up my ass would you ?!:na:

No sir. Patent is pending. :rules:

That's OK then, I would hate to think you were stealing someone else's idea, and I don't like being taken for a ride anyway so I'll have to take your word for it :angel:

I googled it and took the first link. Its an infinite loop and I can't stop it!
