I still have fat lips not A fat lip...Plural. The last 2 times that I have been intubated they have lacerated the inside of my mouth both top and bottom. This is a picture of a laryngoscope, which is what they use to cram down your throat and then it helps feed the tubing down. Once the tubing is down, they pull this cruel looking concraption out. 
So the question is... Do they cram it in? or do they yank it out. Which causes the cuts on the side of the mouth. And it is un-avoidable? I don't know. I hope I don't have any additional experiences with intubation to be able to compare.
