That’s Generally Uncomfortable…
DOCTOR/PHYSICIAN, HOSPITAL, INDIANA, JERK, NURSES, USA | HEALTHY | JUNE 7, 2020
I’m getting a vasectomy, and my doctor asks if I want a local or general anesthetic. Since I have problems with general anesthetics, I opt for the local.
After supposedly numbing the target area, he begins the procedure.
Doctor: “Let me know if you feel anything.”
Me: “I can feel that!”
Doctor: “You were the one that opted for a local anesthetic!”
Me: “You were the one that said to tell you if I felt anything!!”
The next day, a stitch popped and I had some very minor bleeding. I gave his office a call because, you know, that doesn’t seem like something that’s supposed to happen. The nurse said, “Well, that’s what they do!”
This doctor had a history of being jerky, but my philosophy at the time was “better the devil you know…”
