APPARENTLY,

...there's a difference between being a "BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER"--which I am--and being an actual doctor.  (THAT'S "NEWS TO ME!") (Staff wouldn't let me switch my "Gastric-tuba" myself.) But, the ACTUAL doctor conducted the procedure very well!  (LADIES, EXCUSE MY IMAGERY!) He just yanked out my tube very quickly.  I LEAKED MORE BLOOD from my lower abdominal-area than I HAD PAIN.  (Gentlemen, I guess that it was like "MENSTRUATING".)
