ShutterButton: It's For Your Own Good

So, the University used to administer physicals to its students? Cool. I mean, we're completely okay with the usual stuff: checking your blood pressure, eyes, ears, height and weight– maybe the whole turn-your-head-and-cough thing– but this is a little odd. This device looks like an instrument of torture! The chains, leather straps and wooden planks make it seem like something from Marilyn Manson music video. 1912! What a silly year.
