Yeah that is rough. I have had to do that procedure a couple of times and it is not my favorite.

Definitely worse for the patient though.

Or he has already seen the video. He could be in rehab or on a Bender after that. (Assuming any of this is true).

If there is one thing I learned as I got older that has saved me a lot of anguish, it is that I can’t make anyone like me. Judge people how they treat you - in this case these people are not your friends. Nothing you say or do will change that. Cut your losses and focus on people with whom you have interests in common.
