Should have gone private.
I had a vacectomy last week as kids are expensive and if we have another one they might be a twat.
So off for the snip. I tell the doctor, surgeon etc and also the nurse that I normally need a lot of anaesthetic to have an affect and they basically pat me on the head and say they will monitor it.
So first cut, I tell them I feel it, second tug of the tube I say that smarts a bit, cut the tube and my eye gives away the pain and when they cauterise the tube I tell them to give me more anasthetic or I’m getting off the table.
The right one had 3 injections as I gave them my Paddington Bear Stare when I asked for more. The right is now painless but the left could do with a soft pillow and some Enya.
Why don’t doctors listen to past experiences of patients ? When I had my collarbone repaired I counted up to 20 before I fell asleep and she looked quite worried at about 9 .
Also why the fuck do they make you shave your balls the morning of the procedure and then slather the area in Iodine!!!
Go private, ask for another couple of needles!!
This is just a general rant, look after your giblets.
Dave!

Re: Should have gone private.
I’m sorry for your troubles but there’s something quite funny about the fact that you need extra anaesthetic…
Re: Should have gone private.
Should have gone private? Sounds like your privates have gone.

It took a year for my tubes to "clear" sufficiently to get a sign off after mine. I got really bored of wanking.

Tim, I remember years ago hearing how you hit party time 10 times and then send in for a test.
Now you get a test pot at 16 weeks !

Re: Should have gone private.
That sounds thoroughly unpleasant, will not be booking in for it.
The NHS is all about patient centred care and asking you what you want etc so I'm surprised they didn't listen to you!

Re: Should have gone private.
If it was the same as the right, it’s painless and makes complete sense. So don’t be put off, just be stubborn and forceful.
Dave!
Re: Should have gone private.
I had mine mine last Wednesday, more tender now than the day after!

Sounds like you dropped a bollock there Dave.
I'm also frankly disappointed that the Bear needs anaesthetic at all!

Blimey, don’t go for a sex change because I imagine the surgery would smart a bit more.
Re: Should have gone private.
It was only after I was stabbed about 10 times unsuccessfully with various nurses trying to find an artery in my arm (think 6 inch long needle) that another nurse said “do you think we should use the numbing cream to reduce his discomfort”.
I was furious inside

How about not having a sig at all?

Christ. We asked but the doc said they want us to wait till Sienna is 6 months old before they'll do it, "in case she dies".
I'm like 'she's our second child and I'm 45, if she dies we ain't having any more.' The NHS is weird sometimes.
When they were trying to get a line in for Deb's second caesarean they kept missing the artery (or vein?) for a full 30 minutes before in the end they had to guide in a needle with the ultrasound machine just to make sure it went in right. Deb was furious. She felt like a pin cushion.

Re: Should have gone private.
I need a hernia operation and I'm considering going back to Colombia to get it done. Costs around $2,000USD privately and can be done immediately. Some of the hospitals and care are fantastic - that's from personal experience there back in 2019. NHS waiting lists are 6-12 months currently - which is 6-12 months of not lifting weights, limited exercise etc.
Re: Should have gone private.
So you are telling us you have the pain threshold of a little girl, yeah?
That was my favourite part - the smell of your own flesh burning
