    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.
