Kestrell,
 
I'm not exactly sure how one of these could emulate the pain and discomfort associated with America's health care system.

I wonder if this has any potential use for medical training programs--it would allow medical care providers to experience to some degree the sort of symtoms their patients experience, which could go a long way to addressing medical care providers opinions about the level of pain and discomfort a patient is feeling.Kestrell

Wow, that's amazing... not just for acessibility, but to create REALLY imersive games...Even though I wouldn't want to test that "feel the cockroaches crawling up your arm" thing... eeew.Any bets on how many years 'till something like that hits the market?
