MAGIC! I'd love to be able to "look inside"... myself & others. The last ultrasound I had (of the 3 in my life) was to look over the liver... and I saw my own gall bladder on the 'live' screen high on the wall! It was all full of little stones, of course... but rarely bothers me... so I'm rather passive about it. "Leave it be", say I.<br />What YOU are doing with your hand-held unit is a far greater miracle (& Blessing!) to people who REALLY NEED that service... and I happily send you my absence of an air travel carbon footprint to use as you will. I worked for an airline in the '60s, but, since those days, have flown 3 times, & never beyond the Western States. Less than 7500 miles in 45 years... (and if I had a credit card, and "frequent flyer" credit, that'd be yours, too). Bless you! ^..^herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375097734444644319noreply@blogger.com
