Coroner’s Mirror with Leather Case, Polished Sterling

Description: This coroner’s mirror was a device used in the 19th and early 20th century as a diagnostic tool by physicians to determine whether a patient was dead. Though it was commonly used in the field of medicine, the coroner’s mirror was a notoriously unreliable instrument and later fell out of practice. Death determination has a rich history consisting of its beginning in 1564 when Andreas Vesalius, commonly known as the father of modern anatomy, was observed conducting a public autopsy on a patient who was, unknown to Vesalius, still living. After this incident, a new requirement arose within the field of medicine that a physician must examine a patient and officially pronounce their death before an autopsy may be performed. However, with this vague requirement of death determination, physicians over the years created many different techniques of examining a patient’s corpse. One such technique included an anatomist by the name of Jacob Winslow in 1732 suggesting that a group of women should gather around the corpse to wail and scream with the thought that any still-living patient would become overwhelmed and immediately become conscious. An additional method of death determination consisted of physicians attaching a bell to the toe of a patient who they presumed was dead. If the patient awoke, the bell would then ring signifying that they were alive which is from where the phrase, “saved by the bell,” derives.

Origin: Circa Early 20th Century; France

Good day! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!

Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Cheers

What you said made a bunch of sense. But, what about this? what if you were to write a killer headline? I am not saying your information isn’t good, but what if you added something to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post headlines to grab viewers to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
