Scratch test for organomegaly. First do a "control". Won't hear scratching until very close to scope. Next put scope over organ (eg, spleen). Now you'll hear scratching when you reach edge of the organ (much farther from scope vs control). The organ "carries" the sound to scope.

Would be much better if this $$$ was used to implement a proper weight loss programs and physical therapy sessions!
