Thanks, I'm feeling a lot better now. Certainly better than I did at the start of the ordeal anyway.
Absolutely. Fictional characters get all the breaks. It's the sort of thing that forms the bread and butter of British bawdy comedy films of the seventies, but the reality is the exact opposite of funny. I remember mentioning to the doctor during that first procedure that it might make a perfect revenge to exact on an enemy. I don't hate anyone that much to wish it on them though.
You know, that did cross my mind at the time. I thought that it's bad enough having pointy things stabbed into my major organs without being charged for the privilege. That's one of the reasons why I will defend our NHS system against all comers, imperfect as it may possibly be and underfunded as it most certainly is.
I've come across (if you'll pardon the pun) jokes along the lines of "Call a doctor? I'm gonna call a friend!" and I can see how it can have comedy potential. As I now know, the real thing is the least sexual thing I can imagine. Even a shadow falling on it is painful. Well, not quite, but not far off either.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
