Friday Funny: Not The Right Way to Use it?

by  • 

This is from the Placebo Journal and is at least a decade old. The person did fine. Probably. Anyway, we had tons of interesting x-rays in our magazine which came out bimonthly.

At least this person kept the cap on. Does anyone want to know why that MAY be important?

TGIF

RIP PJ

    I remember fondly the Placebo Journal, still have my old copies. Share them with students of various health care types. Funny and educational.
