Thanks for posting in the Medical Forum @Mike Serpa

We are honored to have you drop in and appreciate your sharing the fabulous medical kit! The scarificator is indeed a scary piece of equipment. :hot:***I feel much better now......no, really. I believe I'm entirely well. Thanks though. :bounce:****

Thanks again for posting!

Thank you. I haven't visited this part of CWT much. The scarificatior was spring-loaded. See it in action at this youtube video. No victim... I mean patient. It's safe to watch even for the squeamish!
