    The stent is a small but long plastic (nylon?) tube that reaches up to the kidney,

    The doctor grabs the nearest end with the special device and then proceeds to pull the stent out.

    In this case, the outside of the stent was covered with uric acid(?) crystals, which made the removal of the stent somewhat difficult – as in physically difficult – hard work.

    The doctor stopped for a rest when the stent was half way out, then continued.

    I was speaking to a bloke today who cut his own hair.   His technique-

     Look up on youtube how to do it.
    Procure 2 mirrors for front and back.
    Procure clippers with 2 combs-short and long.
    Do sides in low to high direction with the short comb
    Do the top with the long comb in any direction.
    Smash mirrors and buy cap.

    A nephrologist is a doctor that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments that affect the kidneys.

    But in my case, they just dragged in the janitor to do the job.

    Rudd/Gillard dropped our borders and locked up 50,000 boat people. All they did from 2008-2013 was build detention centers. Then they sent young children to Manus island to be used as human shields

    ‘Young-looking’ refugees sent offshore (sbs.com.au)

    Gregory Lake, the former director of offshore processing and transfers at the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, told the inquiry he was directed by a ministerial staff member to choose the youngest-looking children from among those eligible for the first transfer of detained people from Australia to Manus Island in 2012, when Labor was in government.

    “Because they wanted to send a deterrent message, it was important to send some children, to say that children are not exempt from transfer,” Mr Lake said””””
