I think I'd freak if my doctor used something like this for a blood sample!

It's from our old friend Laura Veroli.

That's different. and weird.

my Friend {and ours} Brad West has one like that in his dispaly case i have been checking out for a couple pf years .it always feaks me out when I see it too. I dont think I would want them to use it on me either.

If they TRIED to use it on me, I would become "combative"
[It HAS happened when the anesthesia wore off "a little early" during a surgical procedure]
I heard someone say "Al stop fighting" and someone else say "put him back under, FAST"

It is a "Fleam" - used inthe old says, when they believed in "letting blood" to help heal people

Whats that. I am a nurse and i am not sure if it is the right tool for blood samples way back then. It is freaky it doesn't look like the blood samples apparatus now. I have no idea what is that. iIs that or sale? What will they do on it? IT looks like a treasure that they found hundred years ago.

I've had similar, I've heard myself saying ow (sounded far away) and then heard the anesthesiologist say, "give him a little more, he's coming out" (or something like that)

I've also woken up with 2 doctors and a nurse standing over me. The main doctor then says "I'm glad glad your awake, we weren't sure if we were going to get you back" (probably the scariest thing I've EVER heard at the hospital)

Wow. Gives you an idea how far medical science has come. It will be interesting to see how much that goes for.

There are many examples of such devices, some had multiple blades and were called scarifiers, one is used in an episode of the Sharpe series, Masterpiece Theater, available on DVD. Good stuff.

The spring loaded devices were often used to self-mutilate patients(hypochondriacs?) who felt the need to be bled far from a surgeon's office, or barber shop. The one used on Sharpe has three blades, half moon shaped, hold it to the forearm, twist the knob on the engraved brass box, and bleed away.

How times have changed.
