A medical laser system for scanning a beam of laser light including an oscillating mirror (24) that repeatedly scans a laser beam in a cyclical pattern, such as a circle or an ellipse, or in a zig-zag pattern within a defined boundary. The oscillating mirror (24) can be included in a myringotomy instrument (10). Also, the oscillating mirror (24) can be included in a joystick-controlled medical laser system, or in any other system where a cyclically scanned laser beam is useful. The medical laser system for scanning a beam of laser light can also include a beam-guiding optical fiber (180) with a transmissive tip (182), the fiber being cooperative with means for cyclically oscillating the transmissive tip (182) to cause a laser beam to be scanned in a cyclical or zig-zag pattern.
