My First Surgery Left Me in Tears—What Was Your Experience?

I’m not very comfortable around hospitals, even though I have brothers who work in the medical profession. When I needed an operation, I was nervous. My brothers tried to reassure me that I was in safe hands, but I still found the experience frightening. I had the operation without heavy anaesthesia, and when I heard the razor against my skin, I couldn’t hold back my tears. I cried like a grown man and have never forgotten that moment. My brothers made my stay memorable. They even brought some young students in to practise and learn, which gave me a bit of a hard time. The experience gave me a new respect for doctors, though I still don’t like hospitals. Have you, a friend or a family member had an operation? What was the experience like?
