On the Jurassik Manoeuvre

In Medicine, there's a lot of steps and syndromes and what nots that were named after a certain seniors in the past. So there was this one particular manouevre that we would need to perform if we failed to elicit any reflexes, where we'd ask the patient to clench their teeth or pulling their interlocked fingers outwards, simultaneously when the tendon hammer is hit on the certain reflex point. We called it the Jendrassik's manoeuvre.

So there was this once when a friend of mine wanted to tell us about her experienced during the final exam. After the end of all her central nervous system examination with the additional manoeuvre, she turned around to the examiners.

Examiners: What's the manoeuvre called?

Friend said with much confidence: JURASSIC Manoeuvre!

It was only later on when they got back to the room that the examiners corrected her.

She said she was so embarrassed at that time. We couldn't help but to laugh for the next 5 minutes. Not solely of her answer, but also the way she joked about it.
