I didn't see this particular show, but your comment made me laugh. There used to be a show on the Discovery Health cable TV channel here called "The Operation." They showed actual film footage of various surgeries. My husband could sit there watching brain surgery or an appendectomy and eat his supper at the same time, no problem. Then one evening the subject was a vasectomy. Well, he curled up like a boiled prawn and moaned that this was disgusting, they shouldn't show something like that on TV. (By the way, the program didn't bother me one bit.)
