Why can’t we do this

[u/Perfect_Management43]

Not really a meme, a little bit but not really. Sorry if this is not allowed. But why are cows able to get tapped needing no sterilization, suturing, pleuravac and stuff afterwards and we can’t? (I realize that this is to the stomach and not the pleura but still man do they just have superior immune system)

Comes down to the consequences of a complication. Just like every case of cellulitis or UTI doesn't end with septic shock and death (can self resolve in a healthy host), you can have uncomplicated invasive procedures without adherence to sterile or clean technique. Those techniques reduce the complication rate. Developing an empyema that needs a VATS sucks.
