Trivia
- An otolaryngologist is an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgeon, also known as a head and neck surgeon.[1]
- Before the advent of penlights, these mirrors were used to create hands-free lighting. In use, the mirror is strapped to the physician's head with his eye looking through the hole in the center.[1] 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.[2]
