Tongue Depressor

This is not a giant ice-cream stick - it is a tongue depressor.

I use it when your tongue is too happy and you are talking too much.

Ooo! this one I use to paint small soldiers.

I realised that a good way to "shut up" a patient who is babbling way too much irrelevant and inconsequential questions/nonsense is to put into their mouth a thermometer.

Usually gets them quiet. And then I can either auscultate their chests in peace or write up my notes. After which the thermometer comes out and off they go!

So why do you gag me with it?

It also makes a fine paint stirrer.

OK, I also throw them at medical students who fail to answer my questions correctly... but hey, I used to use the tuning fork.
