People can't stop laughing about this baby x-ray machine.

You almost have to feel bad for laughing but the reality is that taking your child or infant to get an x-ray is not a pleasant experience. Often times they can't lay still, or it's so terrifying for them that you have to intervene and hold them down.


This bizarre x-ray machine is called the Pigg-o-stat and was introduced into the medical field in the 1960s.  Manufacturers describe it as 'an all-in-one pediatric immobilization device designed for positioning infants and young children for an appropriate x-ray without significant complications.'

Isn't this adorably horrible? I'm surprised that the child only looks mildly concerned. And yes, it's a real baby. I had to look at it a few times because it almost didn't look real.

There's even a video showing you how it works.

Technology; it's the greatest.
