2) Try having 11 successively larger probes ripped through your urethra
to prepare a path for the catheter because the day before some guy
thought it might be fun to "loosen up" your urethral stricture while

let 18 hours of urine drain all over you while your wife stands
watching. But the bill is $0. Still glad to be Canadian. :D
