I've had a catheter once during one of my hospital stays, no idea why as I was free to get out of bed and walk around. Not a pleasant experience feeling the tube scrape the inside of your bladder. And getting it taken out burns really badly. I don't recommend it.
When I got injured, the ambulance doors opened and a team of yellow-gowned folks grabbed me. One guy had a big splatter shield on his face and even before I was fully unloaded, threw my gown up (I was transferred from a different hospital not able to do what was needed) and he looked scared to death. Inserted the catheter immediately.
After a few days in the trauma unit, a nurse came in late at night to remove it. After she pulled it out, she squeezed my D a little and said “Aw”, and I instantly chubbed. Then she smiled and left.
We had s chuckle about it the next night. It’s perhaps my fondest hospital memory.
