Steve, you obviously know the answer, and it is pretty obvious we will never get it. Just answer the damn thing and post another already!
The answer has already been stated in all the clues... It is a medical device It is for extracting fluids It doesn't have to do with kidneys, but pulmones Someone just needs to string all those facts together. I disqualified myself because my (and Herb's) dad is a Pulmonologist.
And the name of the device has been given in 2 pop culture clues...just phontically piece them together.
oh my i would need that to reinflate my collapsed lung, because a pneumothorax apparatus has no other purpose. hi five bro
Martin gets another attempt to kill the thread by ignoring it. It is a pneumothorax device, but it technically is not used to re-inflate a collapsed lung (which is the common name for a pneumothorax). The device was actually most commonly used to induce an artificial pneumothorax as a treatment for Tuberculosis. http://mcgovernhrc.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/pneumothorax-apparatus/ Hence the clues "Finding Numo" and the Dr Zeuss classic "Le Thorax".
Ok, Since I stumped everyone and Martin declared the opposite of what the device was used for, I'll go again. What is it?
