The power of suggestion. I didn't notice the piece of sawdust till you mentioned it. Afterwards, I was unable to NOT see it. I had to look away so as not to be distracted.
As a radiologist who has done many LP’s, I’m struck by how accurate these details are. Pneumoencephalograms were indeed really painful and the tests run on CSF are indeed as stated. Really well researched video.
I remember reading a textbook that stated that they were not supposed to be painful "if performed correctly." That led to a lot of giggling and angry looks from the campus librarian. I'm definitely glad I only handle the laboratory side of things.
I had a “lumbar discogram “ years ago. When going into procedure room I wondered why all the attendants were large men. Due to my desiccated and ruptured discs the pain experienced was truly medieval and they needed to restrain me from trying to escape. 11 years later and I can feel my heart rate increase just recalling.
Back in early 70s I had meningitis, and underwent a spinal tap procedure for diagnosis. One of the most painful procedures I ever had to endure, and I've got an above average share of scars, accidents and hospital time under my belt.
Algorithm hint: Don't mention the sawdust and wait for 50 comments pointing it out because of course no one looks to see if that was commented on already. YT just counts those comments the same as any other. Actually, please never do that. I do suspect some other RUclipsrs of that, though.
LOL... the end - I didn't expect that. My dad had a spinal tap when he was a child after falling out of a moving vehicle. He kept falling a sleep and so they wanted to test. He said back then they thought young children really couldn't feel pain so he wasn't given anything. He said that was the most painful thing he had ever felt. (not to go off topic, but those same doctors tell us babies in the womb don't feel pain)
Better than injecting mercury, no? Contrast was needed, CT didn't exist. There will be dozens of medical prodecures done today that people will look back on with the same horror in the next 50 years. This one however, saved lives.
Better than liquid metal, no? Contrast was needed and it worked. It wasn't a total replacement, the person was put on a sort of rotating seat that allowed the air bubble to rise to specific heights and give precise contrast imaging. No doubt people in 50 years will look back on standard procedures today with the same horror. However it was a net benefit for people at the time since CT wasn't a thing.
@@daviddavidson2357liquid metal? That wouldn’t even work. It would make the xray an absolute mess. The only one you could use is mercury. I’m surprised they didn’t use radium saline. Why do you even need that much contrast. You would have to be sure something was there and bout to operate. I cant see it being good for anything other than catching cancer which if you had back then, ur done. So why the air? They just did whatever and they still do. Ever learn how they put in and take out an IUD? It’s absolutely barbaric. Meanwhile a better way has been since the garbage came out, their way is just easier for the dr. Its like taking a knife and spinning it and then asking for money
I had a spinal tap done as a teenager when i had meningitis. I dont know what was less pleasant, excruciating headaches from it or a giant needle in my spine.
One of the major uses of lumbar puncture was the diagnosis of syphilis. While blood tests can identify antibodies, only a dark field microscope could positively identify the treponema pallidum bacteria. Until antibiotics were invented 2nd or 3rd stage syphilis were fairly common. Indeed, 3rd stage, known as 'general paresis' was the largest single diagnosis in mental hospitals in the early part of the 20th century.
This is the only one of your videos I will never watch. Was subjected to an emergency spinal cord test and the needle was inserted incorrectly, still today 35 years later, just thinking about it is enough to make me feel hot, nauseous and get tunnel vision. The episode was probably as good as anything else you do but it wasn't for me. 😂
Good stuff here. Medicine now used a smaller needle but not truly small. I knew somebody who had a few in the late 80s. Sometimes it is just a needle poke and other time massive headaches follow. Thankfully, many of the needs you mention when it was first used have been replaced with other methods - but not all.
I had to get one when I was about ten. I had a really bad fever and my neck hurt. Docs had to rule out spinal meningitis. I believe they gave me something to not remember, possibly ketamine.
After learning more about this band Spinal Tap I'm left with one question. On what day did God create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?

In fairness, it wasn't there in the earlier shots

Wouldn't removing the fluid make the brain get "squished" by its own weight?

lp as in long play records or

LOVELY outro! Was wondering if that would show up....
I always thought that song was about a town in Michigan:
Menominee. (doot do do do do)
Menominee. (doot do doot doot)
This may be your most casually chaotic video yet, and I'm here for it

I'm pleased to hear that I'm not the only one who gets that earworm when they hear "manometer".
That is a killer tie man
definitely 11 of a tie

4:45 Almost thereeee... damn, just missed it.
Now my spine is tingling. But the Manoamano song at the end cheered me up.
We need a workshop tour video.
Love the end bit! 😻

Injecting air into the spinal column? That's quite horrid!

Doctor fauci's great grandfather.. Trust the science get your boasters....👍
I thought you were mistaken. That’s incredibly insane

I wondered if you were going to mention that log in your beard, but I knew you wood!...
DANG, I was close! I identified it as a sphygmomanometer (e.g., blood pressure machine).

This is the earliest I've been to a video before....
This video goes to eleven.
As someone with Intercranial Hypertension, I've had many spinal taps
Ah typos! It's intrAcranial hypertension. Intercranial would signify hypertension between two heads, and I very much doubt you have two.
Maybe you can get Captain Disillusion to motion track that sawdust out of your beard?

1:26 LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE HOLE 😮
Always well done.
Wow. Thanks. I have to admit being a little embarrassed. I retired at 64 because I was tired.

I wonder if I could use this to test myself for my LSD use so that I can turn myself in at my local Sheriff’s station.
????
Workshop wearing a noose always gets sawdust in your beard... Menomonot!
Very interest stuff! Well done! Anyway, that's all I have for you today.
I had to get one when I was about ten. I had a really bad fever and my neck hurt. Docs had to rule out spinal meningitis. I believe they gave me something to not remember, possibly ketamine.
Watching this video I think that the difference between torture and a medical procedure is just one: the bill
Except the bill is also torture
Let's do lobotomy tools next !!!!
Thank you…
But this goes to eleven………..all of my amps go to eleven ever since I saw that movie……don’t mess with me!
Great video as usual.
After learning more about this band Spinal Tap I'm left with one question.
On what day did God create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?
He created the band Spinal Tap on the 11th day.
Great video my ocd was off the chart cause of whatever was in your beard
Sawdust FTW.
Keep it up Bro.
was the whole pack designed to be sterilized?
What kind of woodworking do you do?
What do you create in your workshop?
YESSSSSSSSSSSS, SPINAL TAP IS GOING TO RELEASE ANOTHER ALBUM!!! errr wait, that isnt what this video is about???? WHAT?????????? THAT IS HORRIBLE!!
Sehr interessant 😂 vor allen das Ende des Videos 🎉
These go to ninety! 😉
B D company was in East Rutherford N J
I assume Fairleigh Dickinson (sp?) from BD started the university of the same name?
Menominee 😂😂😂
Does it go up to 11?
😮ouch! I prefer my answer, Blood pressure 😂
🤣🤣🤣 manometer 🤣🤣🤣
