Our society is fuckn sick. They are allowed to show this shit(literally) on tv but showing a pair of naked tits is outrageous. WOW.

@SpliffChief I'm more offended by CBS too many Ads.

@jlh945 I've not seen one done while laying on the back either; presumably this was to make it easier to broadcast it on national TV and not have to have Harry's posterior as visible (and enable a better overall shot, with him able to converse, etc.).

An oxygen cannula (the tubing below the nose) is fairly standard while someone is under light anesthesia, just to keep blood oxygen levels as high as possible. (Blood O2 is typically monitored, along with blood pressure, heart rate and rhythm.)

I'm gonna get one of these on monday, I'm so nervous and afraid.. But this is comforting me a little, the man is so calm down. Oh well, the doctor doing it on me, is an idiot with no kind of communication, talking to me like a chilld, etc.. you know the type; Thinking that patients aren't people with feelings, but just objects. :(

I am trying to get up the nerve to get mine done (for my own health - and so I have some infleuence on a friend who needs one also). I just need to stop cancelling the appointments my doc has scheduled for me to have mine - and get it over with. Thanks Katie and Harry for the informative experience you shared with us all. (It did bring me closer to going through with it... soon... I think).
