It Took Years To Find A Doctor Who Finally Agreed To Give Me A Vasectomy. Here's Why.

"I had been looking into getting the snip since I turned 18, but it took a trip to Ireland to finally find a doctor who would do the procedure."

A few years ago, I booked a flight to Ireland. Some friends of mine had recently announced their engagement, and the wedding was to be held in Cavan, a small country town in the Border Region where the groom had grown up. I arranged to fly into Dublin five days before the ceremony. That would give me time to catch up with some old friends, visit the Yeats exhibition at the National Library and put back a few dozen pints.  I also booked an appointment at a clinic downtown to have a vasectomy. If my timing seems off, allow me to give you a little background. I had been looking into getting the snip since I turned 18. Truth be told, I’d been ready for it since I was 12.
