E.N.G.?

If this is the entrance to the Ear, Nose and Throat clinic at Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, why does it read E.N.G.?


One reason could be, knowing Israel, that since the word for "throat" in Hebrew is 'garon' that someone, on the way to the door, altered the initials.

And yes, that is an Arab woman with her daughter there.  What, you believe the Arab propaganda that Israel is an apartheid state?

The sign is for the machon ENG (electronystagmogram) - it's a test ENT's do to people with vertigo. It makes eminent sense that the room and equipement they do the test in would be located within the ENT clinic.

I think you'll find it stands for Electronystagmography - a test for assessing vertigo.
No, I haven't started studying medicine in my old age; I googled it!
