Don't worry, taking cervical biopsy samples will still be full of pain - why would anyone need painkillers? There are no nerve endings, so there should be no pain

That medical gaslighting line drives me insane: tHeRe aRe No nErVe eNdInGs SO wHaT YoU are feeling is not pain.

Just STFU and listen to patients! Why is it so damn hard? "You also need to lose weight and _____ willgo away" is another favorite.

I have people who Have documented nerve damage and can’t feel anything. I still numb them up, simply because we can have knockdown effects like vagus nerve stimulation even if they can’t consciously feel it. There’s still a response and, it doesn’t cost me much of anything to numb up an area just like normal.
