When I read 'topical anesthetic' I understood 'local anesthetic'.
'Topical' doesn't seem very strong.

You know what I wonder? How does a cytoscope compare in size to a Foley
catheter?

If you've ever been catheterized during a hospital stay you know that,
while it's not something you'd do for fun on a rainy weekend, having
one inserted isn't really all that horrible. If there's any kind of
valid comparison there (if Howard doesn't answer, you can ask when you
call your doctor's office), then I think this procedure may be less
traumatic than it sounds.
