A new piece of medical equipment is being tested right now called the Pedisedate. Basically, it is a headset that is placed on a child before they are admitted to surgery. The device connects to a Game Boy or portable CD player (yup, not a Nintendo DS or iPod — apparently the Pedisedate also transports you to 1996) and a snorkel-like piece swings forward and is placed over the child’s nose. As the kid plays videogames or listens to music, nitrous oxide, an anesthetic gas, is emitted through the snorkel and puts the child to sleep.
The website for the device isn’t loading, maybe it explains further but…how does the gameboy even factor into the equation? Does it control the gas in some way? It has to do something other then what you could already do…hand the kid a game boy as the anesthesiologist does their thing?
I prefer to be anesthetized in atomic purple.

I’m pretty sure it’s just headphones attached to the nasal mask.
