In Dr. Chapman's words:
"I get asked that a lot. The answer is: I didn't choose vasectomies. Vasectomies chose me.
What I mean by that is: years and years ago, I got really good at vasectomies. Word got out that I was a doctor that could do a painless vasectomy, so more and more people kept coming to me for that procedure. Then their friends would come to me. It was like a positive feedback loop, where the more vasectomies I did, the more people would come to me for vasectomies. At some point, my schedule was filled up with vasectomies, so I decided to make that my priority.
Another question I get asked is 'why doesn't every doctor do vasectomies this same way?' I believe the answer to that goes back to my experience getting a vasectomy over 15 years ago:
When I graduated from my Urology residency in 2007, I knew how to do a vasectomy, but I wasn't really any good at it. It takes practice. I tried my best to make the procedure as painless as possible, but it always seemed to hurt a little bit. Since I was trying my best, I figured that vasectomies just hurt a little bit and that was how it was going to be. I went along that way for a couple of years.
Then I had my vasectomy. I had my partner do it (I had partners when I was in practice in Fort Worth). He was an older surgeon who was very talented and I respected a lot. He's the one that taught me how to do a no-clip vasectomy. So I had him do it to me one day.
I'll never forget the experience. The first side he did, it hurt. I said 'ouch!' He just kept going. It didn't hurt that long, maybe only 5 - 10 seconds or so, but it was pretty painful. I thought to myself 'well, vasectomies hurt a little bit.' Then he did the other side. And it didn't hurt at all. Nothing. I didn't feel a thing.
At that moment I thought to myself two things: 1) he should have numbed me up better on the first side. 2) I need to get better at vasectomies. Because if you can make one side not hurt, you can make both sides not hurt. Seriously! This is really what I was thinking while I was laying on the table!
So I spent the next few years really working on and studying my technique for vasectomies. I got it down to where the only thing my patients would feel would be when I gave them the numbing shot. I couldn't do anything about them feeling that needle going in.
Then I found the needleless injector. Now, my patients only feel a little snap, if they even feel anything, when I numb them up. Since I had already spent years working on my technique to make it perfect and painless, that was the last bit I needed to really be able to do a painless vasectomy.
So I guess the answer to the question of 'why doesn't every doctor do it this way' is 'they didn't have the experience I did when I had my vasectomy. They didn't spend years trying to perfect their technique and make it painless. I guess they still think that vasectomies are just going to hurt a little bit and that's it.'
It's funny how things work out. I've ended up specializing in vasectomies purely because a number of years ago, my old partner hurt me on one side and didn't on the other when he did my vasectomy."
