Miss Sue,
If you've ever had a general anaesthetic, you most definitely had an anesthetist " come at you" with one of those " contraptions"
Fortunately for you, you would have been heavily sedated at the time.

Probably used on the unconscious when inserting a breathing tube. Otherwise I would run.

Miss Sue
Never ever had a Dr. that came at me with one those contraptions!!!
