The Rash Was the Laptop
Not a medical photo. The lattice is the heating coil, written on skin.
ScienceAlert, Sep 13: a bizarre rash thought to be a liver injury was toasted-skin syndrome. Erythema ab igne. A laptop. Thighs. Heat that is not a fire, just a habit.
I like this because it is not a paper about a new organ. It is a paper about a person putting a computer where a person should not park a computer, and the body keeping the receipt. Ordinary objects write on you if you leave them there.

Field note: the diagnosis was in the furniture.
Heat toy
Leave the machine on the lap. The lattice writes itself.
