I still have the teeth that my dentist pulled out for my orthodontic treatment when I was about 11, I might be a bit odd

I was circumcised aged nine.
First day back at school, football to my bks.
WAHHH WAAAAH back to hospital for me!

I had to check your profile then. One of my mates had the same thing happen to him whilst having a kick around in the street. I was the person kicking the ball

Still, not as much damage as there was to his self esteem after his mother came haring up the road bellowing "YOU STUPID BOY, HE'S JUST BEEN CIRCUMCISED!".

Yup, nothing like five stitches popping open on your pork sword to cheer your young day up!

Anyone else or just me that felt sick reading that

And the consultant gave me a dvd with the arthroscopy footage on it! How cool is that? What pleasant (or unpleasant) surprises have you had lately?

A lot of hospitals no longer do this as their lawyers have told them that patients' lawyers can use this as evidence for claim against the hospital or surgeon. Sad but true

I had a similar thing but the surgeon also let me watch as he was operating! I was under 'local' while having a Tennis Elbow Release. He set up a mirror so I could see him working his magic. Slightly unpleasant when he reached for the Hammer and Chisel though....

I had an Authuroscopy, they don't tell you the knee swells up twice the size of the other one. I spent many a day strapped to a packet of Birdseye frozen peas. Should have gone to BUPA

Sure, at least through BUPA, the frozen peas would have come from Waitrose...

Always amused by this perception (I work in private and NHS) so no axes to grind.

I still have a stich somewhere in my belly button....I went back to the doctors several times telling them there was a blue stich in there, and could they please remove it. The nurse refused to look as 'they wouldn't cut into your belly button, as well as below it'

So just went home and attacked it with a pair of sharp scissors, but forgot to hold the end to stop it slipping inside

I felt sick from the very first line about being circumcised. Evil jew tradition that thankfully is dieing out in the civilised world.

Poking around in a belly button, now THAT makes me feel funny.

Wife's mate's husband booked himself in for the snip, the doc discovered something else amiss in his plumbing so he had to have a circumcision as well, then it all got infected. He's still walking funny a couple of months later

Was that on the NHS?

I am due a knee op and I was hoping they would give me pics of the inside of my knee but I dont really see why they would!

Naw, BUPA. I got an a la carte menu and everything

And the nurses didn't make me feel like a smearing of nutty butt batter either, which was nice

Having just eaten dinner, though, the consultant came up to my room and started enthusiastically showing me pictures of the various growths he had pulled out of my knee

If you ask and they have the kit to be able to record its quite normal for the DVD to be given to the patient. Some surgeons even have their own branded blank discs.
