Kidney stone-removing bed

Zhu Qinghua, a Chinese rice farmer, has invented a "kidney stone-removing bed." A person is strapped into the bed and hung upside down. Then the entire device vibrates intensely thanks to some kind of tractor engine attached to it.

Zhu has been strapping his wife into this thing and claims it's completely cured her kidney stones. [shanghaiist.com]

If nothing else it seems like a way to get SOME movement out of the wife in bed.

Shaken, not stirred.

I've had several kidney stones. I prefer Dilaudid and/or Morphine.

Quite the powered bondage device. He could market in this country as a sex aid and make a killing.

Well, it could be used to shake-up the market.
