P is for Procedures!
I didn’t know this as a medical student, but as an IM resident there are some Procedures that we routinely do, most commonly arterial and Central line placements. We do these with ultrasound assistance, and typically on critically ill patients. A lot of them are still awake and kicking though! I used to feel guilty about hurting people during procedures (bc we all know sometimes lidocaine doesn’t cut it.) Now, I’m like bruh. I’m saving your life. Grit your teeth and bear it son. I really really really want to be done with this alphabet series so I’mma bout to vom some content out this week haha
