What's in the box?
I'm going to open the magic box.
Okay.
So, these are some tools
used around the time period where we shot our show.
-The 1940s. -The 1940s.
When we shot Ratched.
That was exactly when we did it. Really.
Okay, does anybody wanna take a gander
and a guess as to what this is used to do?
What do you think that does?
It's a ball cutter-off. No, I'm just kidding, it's not.
It's what it looks like to me, but…
-It's a lorgnette. -Yeah.
What do you think? Yeah, see?
Little prongs in there.
It's really a little scary.
-It's got some-- -It's not dental?
It's a cutter.
Throat?
Yes, Judy.
Is it a tonsillectomy thing?
Yes, Sharon!
It's a tonsilotome,
which is a.k.a. a Swiss tonsil guillotine.
Right.
'Cause they stabbed the tonsils with that?
A partial or complete excision of the tonsils.
They would put the tonsil in the hole,
then they would use the fork to fork it in place.
Once they had the tonsil forked in place
and inside the hole, they would slide the guillotine.
The tonsil would then stay on the fork
so the patient wouldn't swallow it.
The doctor would then inspect the tonsil…
-Not good at this. -…and throw it away.
-Do you have your tonsils? -I don't.
-Do you have your tonsils? -I do.
-Do you? -I do.
I do too.
Okay.
It's a lorgnette.
No, you thought that about the other thing!
I can't get it out. Oh well, whatever.
It sort of weirdly looks like a whistle from this angle.
Or a parrot.
A parrot?
Yeah, a parrot.
What do you think?
It wouldn't be anything to do with the cervix?
It is not.
-Okay, sorry. -Oh dear!
-Oh dear! -That's the only idea I had.
Great, great, great. I like it.
Are all of these for women's anatomy,
or are they for…
I'm not gonna give away a clue, Sharon. They are just…
They're all instruments used…
-So it's that kind of… -…in the '40s.
-Yes, there you go. -May I?
Yes. What's happening at the mouth of that?
Why does everyone want to swing it? It's so…
Judy was swinging it.
Yeah. So look at what's happening at the top there.
What are you seeing?
-Oh, it's-- Yeah.
-Something's gonna cut out-- -Some mouth thing again?
Okay, it's a mouth thing.
It might be a mouth thing.
-Or in the vicinity. -Let me see it again.
In the vicinity of the mouth.
-It has to have-- -The nose?
-I mean, what does-- -No, I'm sorry, in the…
It's a nose hair clipper.
No, no. If you can get that up your schnozz,
I would be so impressed.
It has to go somewhere that has this kind of shape,
so it either has to go down the throat--
Sharon for the win again!
-Or-- -She has a very high IQ, folks.
I said mouth.
-You did! You began it. -I'm just gonna say that.
So if it was going down…
-Yeah. -…or up…
-It would be-- -A nasal scraper thing?
-Okay, so it's an-- -Adenoid…
-Yes, Sharon! -…remover, right?
'Cause it would have--
-I said "nasal." -This is freakish. You did!
It would have to go in and up.
It's for the surgical excision of the adenoids.
The device would go in through the patient's mouth,
up through the back of the roof of the mouth
where the adenoids are located.
Once the doctor located the adenoids,
the doctor activated…
Once again, we have a guillotine.
Slice the adenoids off and pull them out
through the mouth.
-Yes. -Thank you, Nurse Bucket.
Yucky.
Okay.
-That looks mean. -A corkscrew.
It looks mean, but I like Judy to get the thing going,
and then by the time we get to Sharon,
we completely figure it out.
-Hey! -I broke it. I think I broke it.
Think about it.
It's like a weird windmill…
I don't know.
…thing. Sharon, just what is it?
'Cause I know you're gonna know.
Push in tight on Sharon.
Look at her thinking.
It has to be something…
-And this rolls… -Cuts it.
…and cuts it.
And then you have to do that.
So is it to remove, like…
If you do this, I'll freak out.
Is it to remove, like, moles and…
No, Sharon, it's not.
-What is it? -Sharon, you're wrong.
Okay, give this back.
It's a ring cutter.
Okay?
It's a jewelry thing?
Well, it's used for cutting and removing rings
from a traumatized or otherwise inflamed finger.
I think Sharon almost had it, but… you know,
'cause Sharon almost has everything, by the way.
Woman of the Year.
Sorry, I just need to keep hammering it home.
It's worth hammering home.
-Nurse Bucket, thank you. -Indeed.
Okay, we now have…
Is that a douche thing?
You know what?
Is that what they're called?
-Is that what a… -What are they called?
You just go… And it…
-Yeah. -…does whatever.
When they go up the uterus and do the… Yeah.
Is it one of them?
Is it one…
Is that what it is?
I don't think a douche goes in the uterus, does it?
Okay, what is it?
Well.
It's not a douche.
-Okay. -Okay.
Is it a very thick syringe?
Yes, but for what?
-Wow. -Where does it go?
Well… But it doesn't go there.
It's not a douche, for God's sake!
-Is it an-- -It's a fan for a photo shoot.
It's an early nasal inhaler.
No.
-Is it an enema? -Ear.
It's not--
Pass it back to Judy.
Okay. Here you go, Judy.
Judy, it is for the ear.
-Cleaning out the ear. -Yes!
-Yes! -Judy for the win!
Integral for the irrigation and the suction.
-I was close with douche. -To clean and treat infection.
Believe it or not, a version of this is still used today.
Not as a douche. Okay. Thank you.
Okay.
It's a mirror, you guys.
In the middle of surgery, you're just like,
"Oh my God, I look so good."
That's a serial killer's mirror.
"This low angle's not so good."
-What do you think it is? -I think it's a bone saw.
Sharon Stone said it's a bone saw.
Guess what? She's correct.
Okay.
Knee… That's the knee thing for…
No.
-…the thing? -No.
-That's what I thought. -Oh, do they go together?
Before they had anesthetic.
That's for lobotomy.
-It's what I used in the show. -That's right.
-Don't tell them. -When the priest got it.
-It's for lobotomy, right? -It's for lobotomy.
-Yeah. -The ice pick.
Right in the socket.
I thought they went in the temple.
They went up in the eye.
-Through here. -Through here…
-Through that spot. -Nobody wants to hear this.
Everybody wants to hear it.
-Really? -They do.
They do. They go in that soft spot
under the eyebrow, right?
-Yeah. -Yeah, and boom!
And is that everything?
It's a soft toy.
To keep the patient feeling…
-It's a teeth guard. -Yeah.
So you don't bite off your tongue.
-It's Little Freddy. -For electric shock therapy.
I think Sharon knows what this one is, too.
We have to try it on Judy or Sarah, I'm not sure.
Sharon got that one, too. Sorry, I'm weeping.
She did name this Little…
Little Freddy!
Little Freddy.
Oh my God, goodbye.
I'm weeping.
This is just a real representation
of what would happen at work all the time.
Little Freddy,
or a.k.a. known as the rubber mouth gag,
protected patients from biting off
or swallowing his or her tongue
during electroconvulsive therapy.
I've a feeling this is what they did
to women like me, in my last life.
It's why I know these things.
-In your last life? -Yeah.
I have a feeling that if they could do it to me--
-They would. -They probably would.
-There you have it, folks. -There you have it.
That's the button we needed.
Oh my God, I'm weeping. Little Freddy!
I'll never get over it.
