Great story! My experience was very similar with the following differences

-My procedure was in a busy ward, no time to close the door or pull the curtain. Spread eagle, pants at ankles, other "lambs to the slaughter" wives and UPS guys takin' a quick look as they go by the door .

-Various other nursing staff stop by for a quick look, literally.

-No tape, but the doc did try to pull my dick to the ceiling

-I knew there was shaving involved so before I went to the hospital I shaved but did not know how far to go. When the nurse came to shave me she felt compelled to discuss that I had done a good job. She looked at and flipped my junk around for only a lifetime or two.

-no peroxide, alcohol straight from the Ice bar, was splashed about with abandon

-I got the 2 "double 00 bore" needles of Novocaine. At that point I explained to the DOC that for whatever reason the typical freezing does not work to well on me. My Dentist uses a stronger one or more of it. He smiles and says "sure, whatever you say". He comes back a little later into the still wide open room, dodging couriers and the general public, and starts to snip my bag with scissors. Looks at me surprised and says "I guess you weren't kidding about the freezing!"
2 more shots and a little more time passes. More snipping with the scissors, the gut wrenching, kicked in the balls feeling when the tubes are cut and burned and it's over.

-I pull my pants up and look out the room at the guys waiting next. They are sheet white and look scared ****-less. My shame immediately passed and I laughed my ass off. One guy looked even more afraid then.

Some advice. Lay on the couch and watch TV for a few days. Don't lift anything. Not even the door on the dishwasher. Eat lots of fiber, you don't want to push anything.
