Trivia
- An otolaryngologist is an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon, also known as a head and neck surgeon.
- Before the advent of penlights, these mirrors were used to create hands-free lighting in the direction of a physician's gaze. In use, the mirror is strapped to the physician's head with his eye looking through the hole in the center. A bright lamp is positioned adjacent to the patient's head, pointing at the mirror. The reflected light aids the physician in visualizing various structures in the patient, including the oral cavity, oropharynx, and anterior nares. The Medic's, however, follows the (erroneous) popular culture version, being worn in the center of the forehead and lacking the eye hole.
- Although these mirrors are nearing obsolescence, some are still in use today.
- Correct pronunciation is \ˌō-tō-ˌla-rən-ˈgä-lə-ˈjist\
- The hat desription was written by CptObvious.
