A curette is a spoon-shaped surgical instrument for cleaning a diseased surface. As a verb, "to curette" means to use a curette (e.g. to biopsy a mass in the nose.) One use of curettes is in adenoidectomy. A mirror is placed at the back of the throat to enable the adenoids to be seen, then the curette is placed in position.

In contrast to the uniforms required of nurses, surgeons did not wear any kind of specialized garments until well into the 20th century. Surgical procedures were conducted in an "operating theatre" - an amphitheatre- or auditorium-type room with the operation taking place at center stage and spectators or students in the stands. The surgeon wore his street clothes, with perhaps a butcher's apron to protect his clothing from blood stains, and operated bare-handed with non-sterile instruments and supplies. (Chromic gut and silk sutures were so ...

The first cornea transplant was first performed in 1905, by Dr. Eduard Zirm, making it one of the first types of transplant surgery successfully performed. Advances in microscopes enabled surgeons to get a better view of the surgical field, while advances in materials science enabled them to use sutures finer than a human hair. Instrumental in the success of cornea transplants were the establishment of eye banks. These are organizations located throughout the world to coordinate the distribution of donated corneas to surgeons, as well as providing eyes for research. Some eye ...

According to their website, Clinic sound like "no other band". This is probably true, although they are reminiscent at times of Violent Femmes, Sonic Youth and Suicide. Since their debut ep, the cuttingly titled "IPC subeditors dictate our youth" (subsequently packaged with their other 97-99 singles on the 'Voot' cd compilation), Clinic's trademarks are their penchant for surgical masks (a reflection on their name) and lead singer Ade Blackburn's clenched-teeth vocals (although some of their songs are instrumentals).

Many commentators see near death experiences as an afterlife experience, and some accounts include elements that, according to some theorists, are most simply explained by an out-of-body consciousness. For example, in one account, a woman accurately described a surgical instrument she had not seen previously, as well as a conversation that occurred while she was understood to be clinically dead (Sabom, 1998). In another account, from a proactive Dutch NDE study [1], a nurse removed the dentures of an unconscious heart attack victim, and was aske ...

Sushruta:

Sushruta: Author of Sushruta Samhita (600 BC), an ayurvedic treatise: Sushruta performed cosmetic surgery. In fact, his samhita describes over 120 surgical instruments, 300 surgical procedures, and classifies human surgery in 8 categories. The oldest Plastic Surgery operations probably relate to nasal reconstruction. In India, Sushruta performed operations using forehead skin to reconstruct noses which had been amputated as punishment for criminals. The earliest written reference to cataract surgery is found in Sanskrit manuscripts dating from the 5th century BC. They are thought to have been written by the Hindu surgeon Sushruta. He practiced a type of cataract surgery known as couching or reclination, in which the cataractous lens was displaced away from the pupil to lie in the vitreous cavity in the back of the eye. This displacement of the lens enabled the patient to see better. Vision, however, was still blurred because of the unavailability of corrective lenses. As recently as the middle of this century, couching was still practiced in Egypt, India, and Tibet. [see link]

Psychic Surgery

The performing of paranormal surgery, in which the body is opened and closed using the bare hands as surgical instruments. Patients remain fully conscious and allegedly experience no pain. While some observed surgeries remain unexplained, many have been exposed as fraud, accomplished by sleight-of-hand tricks known to most stage magicians.

Psychic surgery received much Western media attention in the 1960s and 1970s, prompting thousands of sufferers to seek treatment in the Philippines and Brazil, where psychic surgery was easily available.

Some patients have reported cures that are supported by medical diagnosis, but many have not been cured.

Some of the 'tumors' removed from patients have been found to be chicken or pig organs, other lumps of animal flesh, or balls of cotton wool palmed by the surgeon. Kidney stones have been exposed as ordinary pebbles. Animal blood is concealed in little plastic bags in the palm or in false thumbs; in some cases the blood is already congealed when it allegedly spurts out of the patient. Using the blood, wads of cotton, and sheets for diversion, the appearance of penetration can be created by folding the knuckles against the skin.

Many psychic surgeons demonstrate on obese patients, whose fatty skin is easy to manipulate. If patients complain of pain, no cures, or other postoperative problems, psychic surgeons often blame them on the spirits, past-life karma, or a lack of harmony between the patient, healer, and magnetic vibrations in the room.
