Why Only Vasectomies?

In Dr. Chapman's words:

 

"I get asked that a lot.  The answer is:  I didn't choose vasectomies.  Vasectomies chose me.

 

What I mean by that is:  years and years ago, I got really good at vasectomies.  Word got out that I was a doctor that could do a painless vasectomy, so more and more people kept coming to me for that procedure.  Then their friends would come to me.  It was like a positive feedback loop, where the more vasectomies I did, the more people would come to me for vasectomies.  At some point, my schedule was filled up with vasectomies, so I decided to make that my priority.

 

Another question I get asked is 'why doesn't every doctor do vasectomies this same way?'  I believe the answer to that goes back to my experience getting a vasectomy over 15 years ago:

 

When I graduated from my Urology residency in 2007, I knew how to do a vasectomy, but I wasn't really any good at it.  It takes practice.  I tried my best to make the procedure as painless as possible, but it always seemed to hurt a little bit.  Since I was trying my best, I figured that vasectomies just hurt a little bit and that was how it was going to be.  I went along that way for a couple of years.

 

Then I had my vasectomy.  I had my partner do it (I had partners when I was in practice in Fort Worth).  He was an older surgeon who was very talented and I respected a lot.  He's the one that taught me how to do a no-clip vasectomy.  So I had him do it to me one day.

 

I'll never forget the experience.  The first side he did, it hurt.  I said 'ouch!'  He just kept going.  It didn't hurt that long, maybe only 5 - 10 seconds or so, but it was pretty painful.  I thought to myself 'well, vasectomies hurt a little bit.'  Then he did the other side.  And it didn't hurt at all.  Nothing.  I didn't feel a thing.

 

At that moment I thought to myself two things:  1) he should have numbed me up better on the first side.  2) I need to get better at vasectomies.  Because if you can make one side not hurt, you can make both sides not hurt.  Seriously!  This is really what I was thinking while I was laying on the table!

 

So I spent the next few years really working on and studying my technique for vasectomies.  I got it down to where the only thing my patients would feel would be when I gave them the numbing shot.  I couldn't do anything about them feeling that needle going in.

 

Then I found the needleless injector.  Now, my patients only feel a little snap, if they even feel anything, when I numb them up.  Since I had already spent years working on my technique to make it perfect and painless, that was the last bit I needed to really be able to do a painless vasectomy.

 

So I guess the answer to the question of 'why doesn't every doctor do it this way' is 'they didn't have the experience I did when I had my vasectomy.  They didn't spend years trying to perfect their technique and make it painless.  I guess they still think that vasectomies are just going to hurt a little bit and that's it.'

 

It's funny how things work out.  I've ended up specializing in vasectomies purely because a number of years ago, my old partner hurt me on one side and didn't on the other when he did my vasectomy."
