Help! What is this?

Any medical personnel recognize this device? Looks fun. Not!   I think the thing on the left is a telephone...

That thing looks...like some kind of weird Frankenstein charger or something.
Maybe it charges the phone ..
Radiation therapy?  Skj, are you glowing?
Who knows.
whatever it is it looks scary.

The photo looks very old with this setting.

You find the neatest places to take that Polaroid!

Interesting! It's nothing I recognise and I've been nursing for coming up to 28 years. I've asked a few of the doctors here in ED and they are scratching their heads too! Something from very long ago I'd say. It looks more like lab equipment to me. Great photograph.
I concur that the thing at left is probably a telephone.

I'm sure I saw this featured in a fetish mag...not that I buy these publications, it was at a time when I was doing some scientific research you understand! The wife doesn't need to know about this does she?

On a serious note I just love the way it looks and would have it for that reason alone! I seem to be backing out here

something to do with enemas would be my guess...

Good thing I didn't touch it then... Do I have to sanitize my 195 now?
