Have you ever wondered how the X-ray process for babies is like? If you are still wondering, the following pictures will make you unable to stop laughing.
The image of a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 sitting in the Pigg O Stat machine, a tool used by pediatricians to immobilize babies during X-rays, caused a stir online.
The image of an unidentified 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, with wide eyes and arms overhead while trapped in a container, caused a stir online. In fact, this is not a test tube at all. It is known that the eyebrow is called Pigg O Stat, produced and used in the medical field since the 1960s.
The image was posted on Reddit by one user, initially as a ‘funny’ idea and then dumbfounded by internet users. The manufacturers describe it as “an all-in-one device designed for infants and young 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to be immobilized during an X-ray without complications.”
And, unsurprisingly, it sparked a debate on the internet.
On Bretstar someone wrote: “I worked as a floor polisher at a hospital and every time I passed the X-ray room I always saw this machine in the hallway and was moved by the nurses transfer.
‘I’ve never seen a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 get an X-ray. I don’t know how this machine works. This photo answered a rather curious question of mine earlier. Thank you.
” People working in the medical industry then began to write comments below the image.
They say they’ve seen the machine, but don’t know what it’s for. One person wrote: “My daughter used to be fixed like this when she was 2 years old. She would usually cry if she saw something strange, but somehow she didn’t cry when she was in there.”
“However, when she was put on the table, her legs were kicking at hundreds of miles an hour like a cyclist, like Scooby and Shaggy, when scared they tried to run but couldn’t move”.
Another mother wrote: She kept this picture and gave it to her 8-year-old daughter, when she asked where it was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 and how it got into the womb, she said “See no, honey, the doctors will put babies in these funnels, compressing them with high pressure.”
Although Pigg-O-Stat has been used since the 1960s, according to the Daily Mail, it is more popular in the United States. This may explain why so many people are not familiar with this type of machine and find it confusing and curious. But it’s extremely safe for 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, it’s not only an effective way for babies to get X-rays, it also reduces the amount of radiation babies are exposed to and ensures they get their X-rays safe and healthy. effective.
