"In the past, cosmetic surgeons used harsh chemical peels to remove the signs of aging and sum damage. Now we have the advanced CO2 and Erbium lasers in our armamentarium."
Armamentarium (n): [arm-uh-men-TER-ee-um]:
1. A weapons store containing ballistae and bolts, onagri and slingshot, caches of gladii and pilae and other items of weaponry.
2. The collection of equipment and methods used in the practice of medicine.
3. A word that immediately signifies to me that this copy was written by a doctor who hasn't pulled his head out of his ass since medical school and who probably uses ridiculous words like this with his bewildered patients on a daily basis.
PS -- "Have we mentioned that we have not one, but TWO kinds of lasers?"
Also -- No, "sum damage" is not a typo on my part.
