inflexible gastroscope Explanation: In 1868, Adolf Kussmaul, a well-known German physician, developed the gastroscope. He perfected the technique on a sword swallower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroenterology -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2016-06-12 11:57:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In 1868, Adolf Kussmaul, of Germany, performed what historians believe to be the first esophago-gastroscopy on a professional sword-swallower. This insightful choice of patient allowed him to complete the procedure with an inflexible device on someone who was used to having uncomfortable objects in his GI tract! http://www.badgut.org/information-centre/a-z-digestive-topic... |
