Courtesy of the British Medical Asssociation, Wired has a collection of seven videos from the 1930s showing common surgeries. They’re good demonstrations of what has changed and what hasn’t in the past seventy years of medicine. The video above is of a Caesarean birth. Others include brain, ovarian, and tonsil surgeries. Note that these videos are medically graphic and not for the squeamish.
