Doug, I was unconscious when laser lithotripsy was utilized on 2 occasions to eliminate 3 large kidney stones, but members of the operating team reported to me afterwards that they watched the "explosion" when the laser, guided by a tiny camera, literally touched a stone. I was conscious during the last procedure (stent removal) and watched that successful fishing expedition on a fairly large screen. Beforehand, I requested photos and the stent. When I left the facility I had both in hand, though I haven't yet written in poetic form about the experience. Barry
