Medical instruments then vs now

by - November 26, 2019

Hello everyone 

And welcome to a new post , it has been a while since I shared something in my blog but here I am with a new exiting post- I guess- . The devices and instruments that we use now has changed a lot than how it was in the past , just look at your phone or your laptop that your using it's so different than the first one that came or the one that you use back in 2000 . In 1990 no one could have a blog and share their own story and thoughts . Life has changed a lot , it becomes more easier thanks to technology . 
I am pretty sure that most of you have seen this then vs now objects like the radio , CD , the car's window thing ...... But have you seen how does the old medical instruments look like ??

- let's start with the thing that the majority of us hate syringe yep  . The syringe that we use now has passed by different modification but the most important thing that you should know that the first one were made during the Roman time in the first century AD . And here how was the old syringe looks like  it's remind me of attack on Titan - if you are anime fan you would understand -



- move on to stethoscope , the most important tool in medicine . The first one was made by Rene Laennec in 1816 , he was inspired by 2 children who was playing with paper roll one of the kids was speaking through the opening of the paper  roll and the other put his ear in the end of it .







- the plague costume , are you planning to wear this costume in the next Halloween ? But do you know the story behind it !!
Doctors used to wear this kind of mask during the plague period in Europe to protect them from being contaminated and also they used a long stick to touch the patient with it and to keep a safety distance . Those beaks held a scented substances .




-Sphygmomanometer which is an instrument used for measuring the the blood pressure . The story of how it's made is so complicated , there is too many laws of physics implied . So here is how the first Sphygmomanometer looks like .




- thermometer the first one was Mercury thermometer , I guess most of us have seen one before it was replaced by the electronic ones .


- the first glasses was made in Italy in 1290 . 


- the first braces were made in ancient Egypt and this is how it looks , terrifying right 

but then between 1728 and 1757 it looked like this 

 The end ,hope that you enjoy reading this post .
