Once you get comfortable with that, I think making your patients comfortable with enough lidocaine or some other methods of analgesia can help. Even to, I think we generally give the patients a couple of extra strength Tylenol, something I really just kind of picked up from a pain expert and so on.
Just even the benefits when using in combination, just something simple as extra strength Tylenol, whether it be Pronox, Nitrous, or just the local stuff can make certainly a little bit of help.

I think expectations for the patient, I think like anything, anything we do, any procedures and so on, not only I think you should tell the patient what you're doing while you're doing it, anyone that sticks a needle in someone and they jump and you yell at the patient because you didn't tell them you were jamming them a needle into their body.

It's just ridiculous, but I think also telling them ahead of time so they have not the fear of what might be or might not be, but I think that alleviates some of the stuff as well because sometimes the patients do want to ride the round a little bit and you got to sort of tell them, I've got a probe in you, you're messing everything up, we can't have you moving here, we need to keep everything on trajectory and accurate.

The rest of it really just comes down to what I was saying before, which is unfortunate about the reimbursement and the insurance companies, not just reimbursement, of course, but even the coverage. And again, we all have some of these patients that you go do the slightest thing.

I think you know, Jose and Nadim too, you do a rectal exam on a guy and maybe once a year or every three or five years, you have a patient jump off the table and Like, well, you know, I had this done once or twice. I understand it's not pleasant here, but I didn't just cut a finger off. And there were just some people who they need some sedation.

And, you know, I don't have the ability for anesthesia, just technically I do, but to come to my office so easily and so on. So the surgery center is sort of a perfect place. But unfortunately, with the cost of this spacer gel, and so it's not the markers that they almost make it impossible. And it becomes very difficult in some of these patients.

Well, when you don't work for the hospital, they refuse to assume the risk. And if they're smart enough, they say... some points, even to colleagues of mine, friends that are employed, they say, well, that's great. You want to do that and that's great, but you can't do that. We're not letting you do that, you know, because they're basically your, uh, your parent. That is a problem.
