Your Doctor Has Answers! Squirt It Like You'll Hurt It (High Pressure Injection Injuries)

Your Doctor Has Questions by Chris Morley and Kacy Peek

Episode notes

What is a high pressure injection injury, and is it bad? (Spoiler: Yes. It's very bad).

Following our quinquepisodinal* tradition, Kacy explains high pressure injection injuries. You might have heard them called "grease gun injuries." In short, it's when a high pressure fluid squirts with such force that it cuts into your body and shoots that fluid into you. It's nowhere near as sexy as it sounds.

*I'm making this a word now.
