Though we're paid quite nicely to do it… Add in a procedural sedation – yes please! Thank you!

And think of the dermatologist who is examining acne for their career…

As a side note, did you know John Lennon had a deep affinity for EM?

Actually, and I hate to do this to you, and I think it's SDN's fault as I just learned this here a year or so ago, but rectal disimpaction doesn't pay...at all. You could probably bill the sedation though, but I usually don't sedate. So now, I just break it up as much as I can briefly and have the nurse give an enema. Seems to work just as well and less pain for the patient. Plus I don't spend any significant time doing it.

So...

...you're saying that for you, payment for rectal disimpactions is optional.
