What procedure, and what was a mistake about it? I've had to have a 5mm stone removed endoscopically, and that didn't seem to do me any harm, although I was anesthetized for the procedure - if that's the difference, then say no more, as I'm sure it would have been fairly agonizing if I'd been aware of what was going on at the time.

FYI I replied about the particulars of the surgery here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35036735 . I post this because I don't think you would get notified otherwise.

It was super painful!
