Vasectomy reversal
having the snip took 20 minutes under local, whereas the reversal took 5 hours of microsurgery.
The surgeon, top man in his field, only worked at 3 hospitals, 2 private, 1 public - luckily for me I was booked into the best private hospital in the state. On the day of the operation I arrived at the hospital only to be informed that my bed had been taken by an emergency admission (local hero football player for a knee reconstruction) and that they would try to get a bed in the other hospitals. Luckily, there was a bed at the Queen Victoria Hospital that I could have. Unluckily, the Queen Victoria Hospital was a women's hospital. So I was on a gynaecology ward.
Then it got even better. As my surgery was scheduled for 9:00 am, I had to be there the night before. After their handover, the 2 night nurses came in to say "hi". One was an ex-girlfriend, both I had worked with in another hospital - they thought it was hysterical! Particularly when it came to the neck to knee shaving.
I did receive excellent care though. My pre-med pethidine was given 2 hours early and the dose was a bit large as they added 10 kgs to my weight - I was buzzing away without a care in the world. Even to the point that when it came time for the op, and I was laying on the operating table in stirrups with my now bald bits exposed, a doctor asked if it would be ok for some student doctors to observe. I looked up and saw a dozen young asian girls in the doorway and said "sure, why not".
When I woke up in recovery late in the afternoon, the 2 night nurses asked if i needed anything. I said all I wanted was a smoke and a can of coke. Unfortunately, you couldn't smoke in the hospital and the canteen was closed. One of them went down the street and bought me a coke, then they pushed my gurney, with the drain tubes from my scrotum attached, out onto a balcony so I could have a smoke.
That's what I call good medical service.

Call me a pervert, but...
I can't think of many circumstances where I'd tell a dozen asian girls they were not to look at my knob.
