You know, I no longer even get mad at the urethra stuffing itself. I just get mad that the stuffers assume it’s _my problem_ when they get something stuck. ---

Which reminds me… If someone shoves an anteater up their ass, or a corkscrew up their cock, does your average health insurance pay for for the repairs? I know that’s not much of an issue in prison, but I’m thinking of all the ERs where someone might show up with something stuck and an entertaining story about it. ---

> [@LouisB](#): > > Oh, my dear God. Thanks for the info, I guess, but not even doctors should be allowed to do stuff like you describe. It’s one of those procedures where the cure is better than the problem…but only slightly. I don’t enjoy having a urinary catheter inserted in me, but when I need one, I’m usually glad of the relief. OK, I WAS gonna go into some medical detail, but I figured that I’d just spare everyone. There’s quite enough cringing in this thread already. ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > I think a general anesthetic should be mandatory for the penile probe. It’s not as awful as all that, done by a urologist. The good doctor slipped a fiber optic probe into mine, to have a look around in my bladder. No anesthetic, just lube. It felt strange, but not painful. I put my mind upon relaxing, and trusting in the doctor’s skill. A few years after that (2004), I had him do a laser surgery on my prostate, which I won’t detail in this thread. If you’d like to read the tale, I’ll do another thread. ---

I had once had a cystoscopy done (to go after an embedded kidney stone) and the first time I had to pee, if the urologist had been in the room, I woulda laid him out! **Oh. My. God!** I NEVER wanna hurt like that again. It was as bad or worse as the stone pain. Is that what you had done, **AN**? My procedure was years ago. I still have an embedded stone, but it doesn’t bother me as bad and they said as long as it didn’t, not to worry about it. Back in my running days, one day I noticed very dark tea-colored urine and so went to the ER where they did (at that time) a KUB and found a stone. My doc ordered 2 mg of morphine, and was astounded when I told him I didn’t need it 'cause I wasn’t in any pain. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t bleeding to death out my peckeroni!😃 Quasi > [@AskNott](#): > > It’s not as awful as all that, done by a urologist.

> [@Quasimodem](#): > > … > > Is that what you had done, **AN**? My procedure was years ago. … > Quasi No, the one I described was for diagnostic purposes. I had swollen prostate symptoms for a long time, and he wanted to see if there was a problem inside my bladder (nope.) The later procedure was an effective measure to solve the prostate swelling without having to resort to the “roto-rooter” surgery. More than five years later, I’m doing fine.
