One of the nurses was Irish and I was thinking about lodging a complaint there mind you

:suspect:

I still can't believe they do the snip without a general anesthetic tbh. Sounds horrific D:

Ps, they could have had anyone doing the op for all i cared...anyone apart from the ex wife that is.

Lucky you. I would have thought that was a universal thing, but seems not

If you go private it's not even a full on surgery these days... It's like a 10 minute procedure with a laser scalpel :joker:. NHS it's the rusty scissors, hahaha.

I actually watched them do the whole thing, which apparently is unusual, most people close their eyes or look away. I always watch these things!

And tbh, it was like 50% less traumatising than when I had my big toenail removed. That was ****ing disgusting to watch and so painful that I feel sick thinking about it.

I genuinely think that in a professional medical setting, people should be viewing it as a job title rather than a gender anyway. It's more like a mechanic checking a car... It's very rarely comfortable being checked over in any way but you just do it and get on with it? :shrug:

I think it's fair enough, from a safety point of view, for there to be two staff present for certain procedures and for example to request a 2nd staff member with gender of choice to sit in. To be honest it would be a good idea for that to be standard. Other than that... Surely the most important thing is having the most qualified people for the job checking you over? I guess I see it as, when you step into a clinical setting, they are doctors / nurses. Not males / females / transgendered or whatever.

A coworker of mine went JOGGING two days after getting his done and ended up back in surgery because he ruptured something and his whole ballsack turned purple. LOL

Yeah, most of the procedure itself felt like... I would say... Having strings tied to something in your abdomen and then tugged around a bit. The part that hurt was the anaesthetic injections themselves, though I dunno how normal that is, because the first side didn't hurt but the second was baaad. Might have been a **** up because I also felt more during on that side and some sharp pain when they were stitching which you're definitely not meant to feel... I don't think the anaesthetic fully took on that side.

Hey TS..

Your toe nail..i used to get crippled with backpain for 5 or do hours if i got out the works van sometimes...my big toe nail on the opposite side was all dying and decaying so i sat and ripped it right out myself.

Never ever even felt a twinge in my back since...probably mentioned it before, but i found it interesting and must have a connection.


Ps, i videod it...wanna see me trotters?
