Can't help there. I was in an HMO back in the day.
That part about my doctor sending my snips to Richmond to get paid was true.

Part of me is sitting in a file cabinet somewhere.

I had it done last year. I was in and out of the doc's office in an hour. There was no pain associated with the procedure itself. I was a little tender for a day or two, but sitting in front of the tv with a bag of frozen peas worked wonders for that.

Wimps! I had my left nutt removed due to cancer. The next day, I went to watch Tech play in the final SWC basketball tourney...

Oh yeah, I forgot that I was on Hydrocodone...get the snip snip...and ask for painkillers.

There are some variations on the procedure such as no-scalpel (keyhole) vasectomies, in which a surgical hook, rather than a scalpel, is used to enter the *******.
Thats from wiki-pedia. Ouchiesss

You guys who are thinking about a vasectomy because you're either married or planning on staying with the same girl forever should look into a procedure called Escher (sp?)...

Basically, the procedure took an hour and a half and it is done on the female. To my understanding, some types of springs are inserted into the tubes, not allowing them to have children anymore. It is more effective than a vasectomy and my wife came home the same day. It is fairly new but has something like a 99% success rate. My wife and I talked to the Doctor initially about a vasectomy for me, but he reccommended this instead. We went forward with it and she was around and about doing her normal activity the following day. I'm no doctor but it is certainly worth an inquiry. There were only a few doctors that did it in Michigan because it was such a new procedure, but it's been about a year now. Just something for you guys to look into a little more as an alternative.

I guess I was lucky! I had mine some 5 years ago. When I first went in, the doc said that he could not do it cause I had a hernia. Well, to make a long story short, I was put under for my surgery and while I was being operated on, I had my vasectomy done. Woke up, and everything was done. Never really had any issues either. I was really against it at first, but I am glad I had it done. I'm 43 and I don't need anymore kids. The 2 I have are enough.

They don't sell condoms there?

75 cents at the local family planning center.

'Course the key to the office, connected to that piece of mop stick, can be sort of a hassle. Just make sure you put it back on Abduhl's desk when you leave.
