😝once upon a time, doctors had a real beef with tongues. They would always get in the way, making it super hard to see what was going on in people's mouths. But then in 1843, some medical journal declared that tongues were actually "the GPS of diseases."
🤪From that moment on, everything changed. For over a century, doctors thought they could solve mysteries just by checking out your tongue. According to Dr. Benjamin Ridge, if your tongue had issues on the sides, it meant your kidneys were throwing a tantrum. If the edges acted up, it was the intestines causing trouble. And heaven forbid the tips were misbehaving; that meant your brain had gone on vacation!
🤥To top it off, rumors spread that the tongue was a super-duper lie detector.
😅Thankfully, we've come a long way since those wild days. Nowadays, doctors know that a simple tongue depressor does the trick just fine for examining patients. No need to map out empires or worry about fibs growing inside our mouths. Phew!

Hakim Workneh Eshete also known as Charles Martin (21 Oct, 1864 – 9 Oct, 1952) was the 1st Ethiopian educated medical doctor. He was born in Gondar, the son of Negadras Eshete Woldemariam. In 1868, the confusion of the capture of Magdala, he was separated from his parents and found by the British soldiers. Colonel Charles Chamberlain took him until his death in 1871, after which Workneh went to the mission school where Colonel Martin paid for his education. Workneh was grateful enough to both Colonels thus he took the name "Charles Martin".
He enrolled at the Lahore Medical College in 1877 and graduated in 1882. He performed two years of practice as an assistant surgeon, then travelled to Scotland where he received certificates in medicine and surgery.
When Dr. Charles Martin heard of the Italian invasion of his homeland in 1896, he attempted to return to Ethiopia.
He arrived in Ethiopia in late 1899 and had pitched a tent in the center of Addis Ababa, where he began to treat patients free of charge.

Let's journey back to 1816, where doctors had to rely on the "press and guess" method to listen to the heart.
The French physician René Laennec
one day found himself in a slightly awkward situation. He needed to listen to the heart of a young woman. However, societal norms of the day considered it improper for a man to press his ear against a woman's chest - even for purely professional reasons.
Finding himself in a tight spot Laennec was struck by a flash of inspiration. He recalled watching children play with long, hollow sticks, amplifying sounds from one end to the other. So, he rolled up a piece of paper into a tube, pressed one end to the woman's chest, and voila! He could hear her heart much better and without any impropriety.
Laennec had essentially invented the world's first stethoscope, albeit a simpler version. He later refined his invention, replacing the paper tube with a wooden cylinder.
The stethoscope has certainly come a long way from its paper-and-wood days. It's evolved into a sophisticated instrument, complete with rubber tubing and metal chest pieces, allowing doctors to listen, not just to the heart, but also the lungs and other organs.
But just imagine for a moment if Laennec hadn’t been struck by that stroke of genius. We might have had doctors, today, pressing their ears all over us in the name of diagnosis. Awkward for all parties involved 😬

Did you know?
Back in the late 19th century, Sir Robert Jones came up with the Thomas splint, a femoral splint. This amazing contraption revolutionized the treatment of femoral fractures during World War I and it was a game changer in the field of orthopedics. Before the splint, these fractures were a real nightmare, often resulting in serious complications and even death. But thanks to Sir Robert Jones and his genius invention, mortality rates dropped drastically, and patients started getting better outcomes.
Hats off to Sir Robert Jones for changing the game and making a huge impact on orthopedic care!

Medical advancements have come a long way over the centuries, but there have been some bizarre and unusual treatments in the history of medicine that are now considered outdated and even harmful.
1,Chloroform - Chloroform was used as an anesthetic in the United States in the 19th century. However, it is now known to be toxic due to its ability to cause liver and kidney damage, respiratory depression, and possibly cancer. It was eventually replaced by safer anesthetics.
2,Bloodletting - Bloodletting was a popular medical practice dating back to ancient Egypt over 3000 years ago. It was used to treat diseases such as smallpox, epilepsy, and the plague and was still in practice until the 19th century. The procedure involved removing blood from the patient's body with a lancet or leech in an attempt to balance the body's "humors" and cure the disease.
3,Arsenic - Arsenic was a key ingredient in many patent medicines, including "Fowlers Solution," which was a cure for malaria and syphilis in use from the late 18th century until the 1950s. While it was effective in treating these diseases, it was also highly toxic and could lead to arsenic poisoning.
4,Mercury - Mercury was a popular medical treatment from ancient times until recently. It was used by ancient Persians and Greeks as an ointment and by Chinese alchemists for its supposed ability to increase lifespan and vitality. Mercury was also used to treat syphilis in the form of mercury rubs and was a key ingredient in many patent medicines. However, it is now known to be highly toxic and can cause serious health problems, including kidney damage and neurological symptoms.
5,Urine Drinking - Urine drinking was a popular medical practice in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and in ancient Indian Yogic and Chinese medical practices. It was believed to have therapeutic properties and was used to treat a variety of ailments, including kidney and liver problems.
