Yikes!!!!
Among the more cringe-inducing findings were a urethral syringe used to inject mercury for the treatment of syphilis and a clyster pump used to deliver medical enemas for "quicker absorption."

In Kissimmee, they have Medieval Times diner theater.
Besides the show and dinner they have a real good museum showcasing the medieval torture devices.
Well worth seeing, the museum that is.
