WTF?
I bought all my diagnostic equipment to prepare for our physical exam class and they just added an item for purchase....
"two small reclosable tubes containing odorous materials for testing olfaction"
I'm assuming this is for Cranial Nerve testing, etc. Where am I supposed to find these?? At the PC office where I did some MA work we had a smelly substance in a small white bag that almost knocked me over when I smelled it. I ran out of the room coughing and sputtering, it was brutal. Anyway, I forget what this is called, and by the sound of it, it isn't what we're required to buy anyways. Before I bug the Professor with what may be a simple question, does anyone know what I am talking about or where to find such a thing? I searched AllHeart and Redding Medical, etc. for smell kits and came up short...
