i guess the test is different now, but i had a test for carpal tunnel syndrome about 15 years ago, and if that doesn't qualify as torture, then i don't want to see what does. little spring rings around your fingers, then they insert a "probe" which is a 6 inch long needle about the size of a pencil lead, into your hand in different places, pass current through it, and read the resistance between the needle and the rings.....i've cut myself with an axe, out cutting wood, tied it up, and finished cutting wood. smashed fingernails off and wrapped it up and kept working. this test made me light headed and nauseous, had to lay down for a few minutes.
