Wow you get Telly for a flexi! My hospital urology department use the single lens scope for check u-p-s and telly in theatre with the rigid!
I always watch whenever I can as it makes for intelligent conversation and informed decision making - rather than becoming A N Other on a production line!
As for coral reefs I'm more for the reefs off Malindi and the Maldives and the ones in the South China Sea and Malluka - so much more colour!
Nevt year when this is history perhaps 8-)
Everyone expects pain but I've never experienced it - I do concede that I can think of more pleasant activities ;D
As for cross legged I do remember one occasion when the Doctor had started a second bag of fluid during a flexi check and I suddentl realised the two nurses were standing cross legged so I asked what effect all this fluid had on them ;D One of the nurses left the three of us in fits of laughter as she had to dash off!
I think you would be surprised at how similar to his check up the actual procedure is. The removal is either a hot wire hoop, or a hot spoon scoop then to close any wound a small ball roller is used to quarterise the damaged area, placing a protective scab/blister over the wound (meat welding!).
The surgeon then goes fishing with a small basket and catches any tissue samples for biopsy.
A quick, thorough check around the rest of the bladder and that is it.
Never forget that all statistics are made up of survivours and failures and much of your position on that graph is up to you doing sensible things - STOP smoking, avoid carcinogenic chemicals, drink lots of fluid (NOT bottles of Jack Daniels!), Pee frequently avoiding urine retention.
And if we can't do it Mrs. Carpenter will lend you one of her bongs!

Greg L-W.
