Vasectomies Increase Every March Madness

Researchers report vasectomies increase every year around March Madness. The surgery is simple, but recovery can be painful. It requires sitting around for a few days doing almost nothing, perfect conditions for watching lots of basketball.

In fact, March Madness has become the go-to time of the year for recovering from all kinds of surgery. Max Owithurts from Peopersall, Kansas told his doctor he would spend the days after his gall bladder surgery spending $20,000 to $30,000 betting on Kansas to win it all.

Doctors told Tom Keepmefromyellin of Odessa, Texas he had to recover from his butt implant surgery by laying on his stomach for several weeks. Mr. K had his wife build a special bed with some left over plywood from a failed ping-pong table project. She rigged a hole in the table with a mirror so he could watch every game, his cheeks getting the rest they need.

It’s not just guys. Sally Goforthanddribble from Lesterbangs, Oklahoma, told her specialist she planned to recover from foot surgery watching March Madness for two weeks straight. “I’ll be in the hot tub the whole time,” she said. “By the time they fish me out, I’ll have more wrinkles than a Shar-Pei whose coat was left in the dryer overnight.”
