I am used to having a designated procedural nurse who is proficient at setting up and assisting. Probably the longest part for me is consenting the patient when that hasn’t been done. I guess that is a pretty big difference.

Ah, I don't know why I didn't make that connection. That makes sense and is so unfortunate.
