So my body played an awesome April Fools prank on me.
I just came back from the hospital after having a kidney stone. The pain was quite intense. I spent around 4 hours waiting in the emergency room enduring hell and the rest of the time in stationary care, hopped up on meds. Well, I say stationary care but it was mostly me getting laughs from the nurses from doing weird cardio in the halls on pain meds and a bottle of water in one hand and a IV-stand in the other because I would rather force the stone to come out by itself rather than get a tube inserted up my urethra. But it worked.
Back home quickly, pain free.
Life is good.

Ouch. An old friend, in his late teen age, suffered a kidney rupture, following blockage of the uretha by big clots.
To make it short: He had that tube insertion experience. While he was kinda enjoying the nurse trying to make him hard while he was on a fair dose of painkillers (he was an expert in the substance abuse field, also coming off a LSD trip at that morning), the fun was guaranteed to be over when he got that 3/8-inch tube inserted into his front end.
Telling by the details of the story he told me, you must have been really lucky
(Did multiple edits for adding details)
EDIT2: Buddy diving those $27k waters again
Oh yeah, they showed me the tube.
That was all the motivation I needed.Is it 3/8-inch wide, or 3/8-inch long?
Wide. About 12 inches long.
Are you serious?
My dad had so many complications due to scar tissue after prostate cancer surgery that he had to self-catheterize regularly for weeks at a time over about a year. He says it's easier than bitcoin.
