Or, Maybe a Motorized Speculum
(Old couple walks into doctor's office where some construction is going on. There's banging sounds coming from another room.)
Old Lady: "You hear that? That's the MRI machine. They use that to scan your brain and it shoots out radiation, and that's what makes that banging noise. They have to do that to see inside your brain because X-rays don't work. The brain's not as dense as bone and MRIs can pick up on brain activity and not just the general shape of the brain. It's fascinating stuff."
Old Man: "I'm pretty sure that's a hammer."
