The doctor promotes vasectomies with a promise to “trip” while laughing with gas. Women are indignant

The viral tiktok of an Idaho urologist markets a vasectomy procedure which includes “tripping” on pain drugs while wearing virtual reality glasses asked women to ask why no one has made their reproductive health experience more attractive.

The video of Dr. Austen Slade, presented as “genius marketing” by men in the comments, makes the vasectomy fun.

“Do you want to have a legal excuse to trip at virtual reality content while being high on nitrous oxide?” he asks viewers. “See me for your vasectomy and register for the ultimate relaxation package.”

While praise took place for the innovative approach and centered on the patient for a typically minor ambulatory procedure, the comments section has become a forum for women expressing a long -standing frustration concerning pain management disparities in reproductive health care.

The answers were from disbelief to anger. Dozens of women have declared that they were only offered ibuprofen – or nothing at all – for procedures described as excruciating.

“Damn, I passed out and I vomited when I got my IUD and went back to work after,” wrote one of them.

“Dang When we get the IUDs, we get ibuprofen and refuse PTO’s requests,” said another.

Some women have shared painful experiences to undergo insertions of intrauterine provisions (IUD), cervical biopsies and even abdominal surgeries with minimal or pain-free relief.

A user, @momo_vs_endo, recalled a gynecologist collapsing his pain during a DIU placement despite his tears. “She caught my shoulders and looked me in the eyes to say” you’re fine “, then came out.”

Another, @ introvertebrate32, described the resolution of a non -anesthetized cervical biopsy while fighting cancer: “No numbness, no pain management at all while I cried and almost loses conscience because of extreme pain.”

“They make women endure colpopies, uterine biopsies and DIU placement with zero pain management and offer this to men for something for which they become completely numb?!” A woman said. “They wouldn’t even let my husband stay and hold my hand for my biopsy !!”

A mother of five completely rejected the concept of cushioning the experience of the vasectomy, admitting: “If I had known that it was an option before my husband obtains his vasectomy, I would have made it ever discovered it.”

But most women just wanted the same consideration. “I am happy for them, but it has been angryly angry with what women have to go through,” wrote one, with another, “please put this on my FYP (for your page) No to mine LMAO.”

Dr. Slade weighed on the tide of indignation on the part of patients, writing, “it’s not fair”, in response to a woman who noted the disparity in pain management.

He also responded to a user who asked why he had not “liked” many comments from women. “Feelish of stories to love about being treated,” Slade wrote. “I made several gynecologists known on the comments I receive.”

The 11 -second tiktok has made its desired effect – the video has accumulated nearly a million views, had a lot of laughter and made dozens of commentators announcing their desire to reserve the procedure. He has also involuntarily triggered a conversation on the inequalities in pain management and calls for a reassessment of the way health systems approach women’s procedures.

As a speaker summed up: “Like. Yes. That’s good. But do it for women too. Listen to the Obgyns ???”
