You guys got drugs before yours? My surgeon didn't even believe that I wasn't numb yet (I have a super high tolerance to anesthesia).
Vasectomy without anesthesia: -1/10
But, I basically did a speed run on the pain, because I didn't even need ibuprofen for the recovery.
That’s a medical complaint to your local licensing board.
Yeah, so during my procedure, my doctor either didn’t numb me up enough or whatever, but I said “I felt that.” right at the start and he said “Do you mean you felt some pressure?” To which I responded: “uh… no. You just put a clamp on my left testicle.”
At which point he said “Oh! Well, let’s get you numbed up a bit more then!” And they did.
That didn’t really stop my body from going into full freakout mode. My BP went up, temperature spiked, and I laid there trying to meditate while the nurses dealt with the physical symptoms.
It was so weird. I had a full physical reaction, but my emotional state was pretty solid, because I trusted their reaction and could tell they cared about my comfort.
Well, he's no longer in the country (he got married and moved), but I wouldn't file a complaint because I gave him the go ahead to proceed. After he finished my first testicle he offered to stop and numb me up more, but I told him to just finish up.
Luckily my pain tolerance is stupid high so it wasn't a huge deal, but his PA and nurse were visibly disturbed by it, lol.
My dentist didn’t believe me when I got my wisdom teeth out when I said the anesthesia didn’t take. All 4 corners need their own numbing. I convinced him to give me another shot on the first one, but on the other 3 he straight up told me “No. You can’t feel it so I won’t do anything.” So I could feel a lot.
Most medical "professionals" are neither, just dumb brutes who happen to be good at passing exams.
I had to take an anxiety pill to stop me from having a panic attack, and which helped the anaesthetist to sedate me for my wisdom teeth.
I would start kicking people in the face.
