Holy shit, came here to say that. Nothing compares to the pain of having a tube inserted in your urethra all the way down to the bladder, and as the tube is turned (it's a camera) it hits the sides of the bladder and it starts to bleed, and it burns like nothing I've felt before.

When they pulled out the camera I asked "Oh, does the camera come out of that big housing?". "No, that is the camera." 😮
