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centuries, but there have been some bizarre and unusual treatments in the history of medicine that are now considered outdated and even harmful.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.

Before the 20th century, regulations did not require manufacturers of ready-made remedies to list ingredients in their medicines. Perhaps taking advantage of the popularity of the drug, Lloyd Manufacturing did advertise the cocaine in their toothache drops. The promised instantaneous relief was likely provided by the anesthetic properties of cocaine.
All Over Albany cited a Brooklyn Union article that described a method of using cocaine to numb pain in dental procedures. According to the article, teeth could be drawn and nerves removed with little or no pain.
In the early 1900s, cocaine’s drawbacks started to make the rounds, and novocaine became the preferred local anesthetic, instead.

The history of modern medicine is replete with significant discoveries, but few are as accessible and impactful as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Brought to life in the mid-20th century by Dr. Peter Safar and Dr. James Elam, this life-saving technique was born out of tragedy and nurtured by innovative thinking. Safar, often called the father of CPR, was inspired to develop methods to preserve life in the critical moments following a traumatic event after losing his daughter to an acute asthma attack. Working alongside Elam, who proved expired air was sufficient for oxygenation, they devised the ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) method, the foundation of modern CPR.

presents "Project OES"
As always, SCOME AA projects try to work on the medical education system both by augmenting and improving.
Project OES (oral exam simulation) is not an exception. We all can agree how nerve racking oral examination can get. To alleviate this our projects plans to give a refresher of how things can get in these exams.
Cooperative seniors will be assigned from each department and they will give us the simulation which will be as similar as possible to the exam.
The Simulation will be for Short exam (Physical examination)
This Google form is "Needs assessment" for the project.
The project can only be done if enough students wants the simulation to happen. Thus, please fill the form since we will be registering students for the program from this form.
