Jane...I didn't want to tell you about the rigid scope I had in 1995 from one of the old time docs you mentioned [they do like to stay with their original equipment :-)].

NO please don't!! I can't take any more! ;-)

I have had flexible scopes since, and they are not quite as bad (but remember I am a male, and the rigid will definitely hurt a male more).

It sounds like you have one of the older uro's. I don't understand why he hasn't switched to a flex scope. It would certainly let him get a better look at the bladder also. I still think you will be all right and do just fine. Try not to worry so much :-) ...Pete


I asked all the nurses at the hospital (I saw a lot of nurses when I was there for the pre-op testing and the CT scan) and they all said his practice is the best around here. The nurses know who's good and who slides by. I felt like I had a rapport with the nurses b/c they all understood my panic and couldn't have been more comforting, and I am quite sure they would have indicated in some way (nudge nudge wink wink) if they thought I should find another doc.

I'm gonna give this a try in the office. Now I'm gonna stop thinking about all this until Monday! I'll report back if I live to tell the tale.
