iDoc-Overheard

Persons working in 'pits' (Coal mines) are more commonly seen with lung problems like 'pneumoconioses' or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) etc. 
  When I was working in Durham (UK) One day Ward sister told me, she overheard a patient telling his next bed patient. "You know the Medicine has advanced so much these days, they give medication from below and it affects upper part of the body" I had prescribed Aminophylline suppository for easing his breath. Nowadays suppositories are well known to lay people (I guess some English people ae very simple)

Just on side note...now many surgeries have been tried through natural orifices including cholycystectomy and appendectomy with very delicate instruments under microscopic guidance

Indeed surgeries are now, safer, easier, have better instruments' less hospitalization time etc.
A note here. A number of great instruments were designed by the great surgeon of Andalus, Alzahrawi (Considered father of modern surgery, died year 1013) also called, 'Bulcassis' (Abul-Qasem).
