Thar she blows

That's how I look at patients when I'm encouraging them

Yes. Vaguely aroused but also annoyed.

Oh yeah that's the stuff - now just hold that pose for a few seconds, I'm almost there...

Just don't lick your fingers afterwards

Gotta love being responsible for sexual predators. Never rare, never gets old

Worst bong ever.

It's obviously a vape, with a dosage printout

Are people not trusted to pinch their own noses?

Serious answer: having been subjected to this by my pulmonologist annually for years, they do multiple runs (often including runs after a rescue inhaler is administered), and it's about precisely comparing the results - so no, they don't trust people to pinch their own noses 🙂

This is just marketing material from Big Nose Clip

Yeah these are fun. Men (and some women) in my family have hearty lung capacity. My dad was a lifelong smoker and always passed this for respirator use during his annual physical. I actually surprised a nurse once with the highest score she'd seen in 20 years on the job. It's not particularly useful, unless one of us wishes to be heard from about a county away lol.

Long day? Dented cranium keeping you down? Well head on down to Melva's High Tech Seances where we'll let you kill a ghost with your own breath. Do not inhale while using the device as your own soul will be destroyed.

POV you drunkenly sent messages on TEAMS and how HR has a lockout device on your laptop

Man, I hated doing that for OSHA respirator clearance

For real this shit is the worst. I didn't know exhaling could be painful until doing this. And they make you do it so many times!

Right?! The worst part for me is that there is absolutely no resistance to breathing out. I mentally expected it to feel like blowing up a balloon or something, but it's just an open tube

Yeah! On a mental level it makes the entire exercise feel pointless.

Is there a joke?

Acshuallly - the patient should sit in a little glass booth with closed door, and I have no idea why
