Directly from the article: "Dan Meyer, president of the Sword Swallowers Association International, cited sword swallowers’ contributions to the development of the endoscope, a device used by physicians in some instances to peer down a patient’s throat to examine esophageal disorders."
Not sure if I would call it a lost art, but a fascinating read none the less. You never know where important medical contributions will come from.
