Oral cannula (5) by BROOK |
||
When the general practitioner Morris BROOK (1911-1967) was called in July 1957 to a mine accident in the "Potash Company of America" near the city of Saskatoon / Canada and there had to breathe mouth-to-mouth a worker pulled unconscious from the mine he realized that something about this resuscitation was unacceptable: the dirt, the blood, the vomit he got into his mouth were unreasonable. Thereupon, together with his brothers Joseph and Max, he invented the tube, which is now widespread and named after him.
