This print captures a significant moment in medical history, showcasing the method of reducing dislocation of the shoulder with a knee placed firmly in the armpit. Published around 1898 in The Household Physician, this illustration sheds light on an innovative technique employed by doctors during that era to alleviate pain and treat shoulder injuries. The image portrays a doctor attentively attending to his patient, who is visibly injured and experiencing discomfort. With precision and expertise, the physician strategically positions his knee in the patient's armpit, employing gentle pressure to realign the dislocated shoulder joint. This procedure not only demonstrates the dedication of medical professionals towards providing relief but also highlights their resourcefulness when faced with limited resources. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this archival gem represents more than just a medical procedure; it symbolizes resilience and ingenuity within healthcare practices from over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how far medicine has progressed since then while honoring those early pioneers who paved the way for modern treatments. This photograph offers us an intriguing glimpse into 19th-century health practices and showcases Welsh physician Ken's contribution to pain relief techniques. As we appreciate this remarkable piece of history preserved through time, let us acknowledge its significance in shaping our understanding of medicine today.
