Has he tried putting his hand in warm water? When I went to the uro last year, and they did a urodynamics study on me, after they filled me up with saline solution, and I had to get rid of it, I couldnt go. (performance anxiety) I sat there for about 10 or 15 minutes, not able to go. In desperation, I had the nurse bring me a cup of warm water.

I thought putting my hand in it would get things started....didnt work. I was getting nervous and shaky and accidentally spilled some of the warm water on my knee. That did it.

Suggest it to him, if it works, it's cheaper than an ER visit.
