Just read some of GIJoeBob's posts and thought I'd put a little info out there too.

The typical vasectomy takes roughly 8-15 minutes to perfom depending on the skill level of the surgeon/urologist and the type of procedure they are performing. Some do local anesthetic only. For comfort reasons, I would look for performance with IV sedation, usually Versed and Demerol, but general can be utilized easily as well, if health of the patient allows. If anything other than local is used, someone needs to drive you home.

Medical transcriptionists have a rough job. The lingo is often times bewildering. Add in an accent, background noise, and the blazing run-through of pertinent negatives... the result can be indecipherable. Here are a few examples a patient gave me today:

The pelvis exam will be done later on the floor.

The patient refused an autopsy.

Patient has left white blood cells at another hospital.

Examination of genitalia revealed that he is circus sized.

Both breasts are equal and reactive to light and accommodation.

I consider myself to relatively open-minded when it comes to food, especially fruits and vegetables. If nothing else, it's a job and lifestyle requirement. How can you tell someone they need to exercise and eat healthy to lose some weight if you happen to be a pot-bellied slob youself? But I digress...
