Vasectomy via general - overkill?!?

[Tinks]

DH had a general. We were told they didn't do locals anymore

My DH had his vasectomy a couple of months ago, he had a general by request. Locals don't work on him.

DH had it done via local via Marie Stopes in Dec 2011 - the procedure itself he said was no dramas - he did get an infection after which required antibiotics but all good. I understand your concern about generals - when I recall all the consent stuff you have to sign about generals and what can go wrong - it seems odd to have to have one if isn't required medically or by the patient.
