Q Sensor

A wrist strap that tells hospital staff what a patient's mood is in an instant.

These things really do work, as I can attest from my last stay in hospital.  Of course, in my case it was a bed pan rather than a strap and it worked by hurling it through the air at the house surgeon's head when asked "How are we feeling today?"

Simple, but reliable.

    I had a box of these when I had my store in the 80s, of course then they were ring-shaped and I sold them for 99 cents.
    Seems like a bit of a step backward technology-wise from Mood Rings but I suppose as a medical contrivance it has to be clunky and cost a lot

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
