hernesheir commented on the word percussopunctator
A plexor or hammerlike medical instrument with a group of short needles on its surface once used to treat rheumatism, neuralgia, and other maladies, to puncture the skin by hammering and to stimulate nerves. It sounds like an instrument of torture to me.

Have you seen "Dead Ringers" by David Cronenberg? He really grabs hold of the medical instrument thing.

Sample quote: "There's nothing the matter with the instrument, it's the body. The woman's body is all wrong!"
