What about waiting a half hour before going in the water so you didn't get cramps and drown? I always felt like I was cheating death by having a candy bar and immediately going swimming...in the shallow end just in case.

You're thinking of something else...like a video projector that is mounted overhead.

Overhead projectors usually had the resolution of a felt tip pen.

Oh yeah.

I remember using one of those in college.

Not much talk of medical stuff.

Blood pressure gauges that manually operated and used a mercury column.

Eye exams where they used a funny an eyeglasses frame and a rack with a gazillion different lenses to try out. The eye doctor looked into your eye with a simple magnifying glass and a light reflector. When he dilated your eyes it took most of a day to get back to normal. Eye pressure measured with a plunger on a gauge that actually touched your eye.

Eye glasses that were actually glass and all bifocal/trifocals had lines in the lenses.

Injection Needles were routinely bigger diameter than now. I seems like a LOT bigger.

Mercury medical thermometers that you stuck under your tongue or up you bum (rectal).

Blood and other test results that sometimes took weeks to come back.

X rays that had be developed and could take several days to get back if they weren?t high priority. And it was the only imaging available.

Non scope type surgeries with the long incision scars and the much longer recovery and hospital stays that were needed with them.

Sutures / stitches that were actual sewing type stitches with thread or animal lines.

I guess some of these aren't that uncommon but things sure have changed.

About cars...
A couple of things that are out of sight so a lot of people aren't aware of them.

Collapsing / telescoping steering wheel columns and air bags.

I sincerely hope younger people never need to learn about them.

Mercurochrome! And real mercury filled thermometers and blood pressure gauges.

Vick?s vapo-rub with real eucalyptus or whatever menthol stuff they used.

Don't forget the condenser and your feeler gauges!
