I thought I would just talk about the embarrassment issue. With a little story.
My FIRST visit to the urologist was for a scope. the nurse showed me a room to change into a gown. I went in and undressed, put on a gown, walked down the hall and greeted the nurse again. She said,"remove your gown, lay down on this bed, andwe'll start. I said "why did you make me go into that other room and disrobe?" She laughed and said " this is your first time here and we wanted to give you some dignity. There is no such thing as dignity in the urology dept." With that, she proceded to give me a topical novocain rub.(You know where) I told her that my wife would be concerned about this procedure. We both had a laugh, as I was now losing all of my dignity. I was becoming a urology veterin.
After all is said and done, small cases of embarrassment become the highlight of the experience. They become the comic relief of the procedure. I keep thinking, "They have seen it all before" and they have.
Even in this personal nature, the staff I dealt with were professional and kept my loss of dignity to a minimum.
My advice ( take this from the guy who hated the lockerroom scene during high school football because of embarrassment.. I quit after the first year because of it) We are talking about your life here! Just remember, these times make the best stories after.
Good luck, and the people on this site will fill you in on the technical issues. I am meerly the comic relief.
