In the last few months I experienced a wide variety of therapies that even I, as some kind of “professional patient”, was not aware they’d exist.
One day my therapy plan stated “arm bath” among other things. I couldn’t imagine what in the world this meant.
A bath for arms? – Kneipp Kur for the less affluent? Maybe the doctors should know my account balance ahead of treatment?
It turned out that the ominous “arm bath therapy” really was a water bath for my two upper limbs.
Was it necessary? Did I really need that?
The dark colored water in the picture should not be mistaken as an indication for my dirty hands – it was caused by an added rosemary essence to promote circulation. After such treatment one has to be careful not to bite into his own little finger 
Anyway, after an unsuccessful thirty minute search for a dirt stain on the tiles of the wall, I didn’t have any better idea of how to pass the time, the therapist came back and asked me how I liked the treatment. My honest answer was “Well, my two hands are now clean, very clean”!
For some reason this type of bath therapy disappeared from my future treatment plan
