Just because it's Friday.

Maybe because it's Friday the 13th or just in case someone needs to laugh a little today, I thought I would post a recent observation a patient of mine made.

Since I do house calls and occasionally find myself squinting because there is not enough light in the room where I'm treating someone, I decided to hire the help of a small light. I picked out this little book light because it fits well in my travel case and provides just enough light to stick the needle exactly where it needs to be. This is what it looks like:

Little did I know, until my patient pointed it out and sent me the picture below, that my light had a previous life as an alien in the original movie, War of the Worlds. Here it is in it's movie debut and a slightly different costume.

I promised her and everyone else that if it starts to shoot lasers during treatments I will immediately send it back to it's home planet.

Happy Friday the 13th!
