Why This Baby Is Stuffed Into A Plastic Tube

A reddit user posted this photo of a baby in a bizarre looking contraption and it's setting the internet alight.

This isn't an example of neglect or abuse, the unnamed baby is actually inside of an x-ray machine!

The poster said "I worked as a floor guy buffing and scrubbing at a hospital and every time I got to xray and radiology I always saw this machine sitting in the hallway and had to move it. I never once saw the xray tech grab it.

I had no idea that is what this was. This pic answers a 3 year old question I never asked."

Someone else on the thread added:

"I’m totally saving this picture for when my 8-year-old asks me where babies come from and how they get in the mom’s belly, ‘See, sweetie, the doctors load the baby into the hopper on top, and this machine compresses the baby, and using high pressure, inserts it into the belly of the mom-to-be."
