When I had mine I beelined to the closest restaurant and got a huge Reuben sammie and a beer.

I scheduled mine for 8am, and by 11:30 me and my driver were at a local restaurant having lunch and drinks. It makes that 1st meal a guilt free indulgence.

Ouch.
So that actually happens? They always tell you that might happen but I never heard about anyone getting peirced until now. Mine all went pretty smooth except that twilight drug can make you talk too much and you don't remember what you said.
They tell you can die from a prostate biopsy too. 1 in 10,000. I just wound up in the hospital for 4 days with sepsis several years ago on IV antibiotics. I was the 200 in 10,000 that get deathly ill.
The 2 after that went pretty smooth though.
Like the Dr. said, it's like hitting on the lottery.
Most people don't. And if you get cancer from something that's preventable and treatable, you'll be very regretful. Sometimes you have to play the percentages and take a chance.
Oh yes, working surgery I saw it more than once. If your room was done you got the case and not infrequently the blood transfusions that went with it. Even with a prepped bowel you didn't want to risk infection using autologous blood so we had to stay ahead with banked blood which could be a problem based on type when you hadn't planned on a major surgery before hand. It all depended on where and why you ruptured. Then you had to track down the point of rupture etc.....
It screwed up more than 1 perfectly good OR schedule.

I remember the first time I had that done, the Dr. came in to inform me of that prospect a half hour before we were in the procedure room.
I asked him how many times that happened to him and he said, "None. Yet."
Gave me a little extra confidence going in. He did me 3 times since 2006 and is the only guy around here who does it. He must be pretty good at it.

Whose own? The admin sucked up just about every stitch of ppe in the country, even stealing shipments destined for hospitals. Where did it go? It sure isn't showing up at hospitals in blue states unless it's from a private company that didn't exist a year ago at prices through the roof. Huge shipments went to russia.
This won't go to americans. At least not those opposed to the admin.

How is it the same idiots who don’t believe in the virus or think it’s a hoax believe the biggest liar in the history of Washington DC?

Well, what do you want from someone who takes advice on wearing a mask from a guy who bangs pornstars and hookers without a condom?
How is it our Russian asset in chief is repetitively gaslighting with the delusional statement that the virus will miraculously go away not actionable?

Yeah, and the Gov. just opened up the state to Nj, Ny and Connecticut without a quarantine or a neg covid test required. Wtf

Those were the odds they gave for the possibility of a colon puncture, my wife was the one. Edit: Forgot to mention the hernia surgery with mesh install a couple months later, fun times.
