Arrow remover

In the early 1500s, being penetrated by an arrow was pretty common, so the doctors have to think of something that would work in getting the arrow out. That’s how professionals invented the scissor-like arrow remover.

It was basically a very big scissor-like instrument, with the sharp edges of the blades facing away from the center, compared to the normal scissors. But this procedure was very, very painful because not only being penetrated by an arrow was bad enough, the arrow remover cut the skin in other to make sure the arrow’s head was completely removed.
