I had a medical procedure in my early 20’s where they put a camera up my urethra. Prior to the procedure they filled it with lidocaine or something similar so I did not feel a thing. The purpose was to get a look inside my bladder. It was not a pleasant experience with a frequent urge to pee after a terrible urge that produced perhaps a drop or two. This went on about every 15 minutes for the rest of the day. It was misery. So when I hear of another side to the story had they not filled me full of lidocaine. I can’t help but be amazed at what a difference perspective makes ones experiences, and how that can inform the rest of our lives.
