    In ear and facial surgery where we use nerve monitoring, the surgeon will test for nerve activity by kinda just smacking the patient’s face and seeing if it makes the machine beep.

    So, even the side of healthcare associated with finesse can just boil down to “punch em a bit”. Don’t even get me started in orthopedic surgery.
