Doctor Bash's house reminds me of the museum back home.... a lot of old stuff, some of it really wierd/questionable ^_^
Never trust a Harvard dropout..... those links are kooky. Sad we still have such a wacky range of medicine.....

Holy Jesus I wish I hadn't clicked on those links. Now I am fascinated and must know all about how I can make big holes in my skull.

I love you, Spike.

Holy hell. That's cool.
All that collection needs is a drill for trepanation, some tinctures of mercury, and colloidal silver.

I know nothing about old fasioned alternative medicine, but I know enough simple chemistry that when I saw Radium Water, I went "... No. No way."
Then you are all like "Yes way!" And I was like "dude." So to reiterate, you rock.

Spike, you have the most amazing brain. Just knowing that tidbit about radiation curealls made my day.
I'm guessing Doctor Bash is a frequent seller to Kingdom Come, specifically the "Death" portion of the store?

Saw one of these in person at The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices (back when it was on St. Anthony Main). I don't know if it is still the case now that the museum has moved to the Science Museum of Minnesota, but you used to be able to get your head examined with a 'working' psycograph. Still laugh when I see Doc Emmet Brown wearing a similar piece of head gear in Back to the Future.

Did you see this, Spike? From Paul Taylor over at Wapsi Square.

Yay for trepaning! Trepaning was invented by a Roman doctor. I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but he also invented/developed hollow needles and was a huge believer in sterilization. He was so far before his time that for decades historians thought his work was a hoax.

I'm in love with you because you know these things. And for many other reasons, but that is certainly one of them.

@Jala:
Actually trepanning is one of the oldest 'medical' procedures known to mankind and has been practiced since the Stone Ages. Amazingly, a lot of people apparently survived it, because quite a few skulls with healed trepanation wounds have been found.
It never really fell out of fashion, so maybe your Roman doctor was simply a very vocal proponent of it?

Scip's just a big ol' worry-wart. That collection's pretty harmless. Most likely.
I mean, that syphilis-face is probably a wax-work, and the radioactive jar is about as harmful as those old red Fiestaware pieces that had the uranium glaze (i.e. not very harmful at all).
I guess Doctor Bash just has a hobby collecting old medical and quack-ical stuff.

What a colossal pussy.
I'm serious, Spike. If I wanted to see a six-and-a-half foot vagina manhandling medical fetishists with drinking problems, I'm sure the concept of webcest will make that an option the moment I hit "send." And I'm sure if I make my way over to that shiny new cluster of porn sites, I'm going to find Scipio in a new career as a marquee star. He's such a pussy.
That said, I wonder about Scipio and violence. At what point does his talent for violence meet his penchant for shrieking like a girl? Is there a crossover? Is there a clearly drawn line, the crossing of which shifts him from combat mode to tea-party mode? That would be interesting.

My history & philosophy of science lecturer, Neil, has a poster he likes to show first-years. It reads, "Hepburn Springs: Health-giving radioactive springwater," and shows a waterfall and a girl with beautiful butterfly wings filling a bowl of water from the pool. Presumably the wings are a mutation of some kind. :)
