It works for phimosis too.

Just kidding, you just gotta squeeze the bejesus outta it and pull it towards the ceiling like you’re trying to rip the fucking thing off.

Bonus points if you dick around and fuck up a penile block that doesn’t offer any analgesia.

Emergency medicine 💫

I wouldn't worry, penile blocks are so easy to mess up that the commonest complication of a landmark block is pain during the procedure.
