To Alseg re: "halo thing"
And maybe you thought the "real" surgeons were the only inventive ones - hah!
This thing must not have caught on, because I haven't heard any more about it, but I will try to describe in case you can do something with it. (If anyone can verify that I'm not hallucinating, HELP!)
The thing was made of two concentric black plastic rings, one of which fits around the bell, with the other, outer, ring perhaps 6 inches diameter which was supposed to focus the sound more. It was interesting, I'll say that, and I sure hope it wasn't a pessary, 'cause that would be darned uncomfortable.
That's the best I can recall, since it has been 2 or 3 years since I saw it demonstrated (I think it was Salt Lake City) and my visual memory is not too good. Which is why I became a pediatrician instead of a surgeon. Among other reasons.
