Inspecting The Speculum

The speculum your gyno uses in 2010 dates all the way back to the technological age of 1300 B.C.E. It got a shout-out in an old Hebrew tome called the Talmud. Worse yet, a speculum identical to the models used today was unearthed in some girl's rubble at Pompeii. Let this be a warning to us all: I know it's hard to get an OB/GYN appointment, but do NOT go if it looks like a volcano is about to erupt.
