And resources were limited.

Vasectomies are one of the most popular methods of sterilization for men. And for good reason - they are a simple outpatient procedure, often done right in the doctor s clinic, with minimal downtime. For a man who know he does not want more children, a vasectomy offers a form of birth control with a high track record of effectiveness. It is also a very safe procedure.
How Does a Vasectomy Work?
The procedure works by permanently disrupting the flow of sperm from the testicle to the ejaculatory ducts within the prostate gland. With time, the production of sperm within the testicles gradually slows down and is reabsorbed by the body.

Mom did all the hard work, said Captain Aaron Greathouse with the Peoria Fire Department. Definitely makes it special.

Banner delaying some elective surgeries due to COVID-19
Decisions made on a hospital by hospital basis By Bud Foster | December 23, 2020 at 6:30 PM MST - Updated December 23 at 7:22 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Banner Health says it is delaying some elective surgeries because nearly six-in-ten of its beds are being used for COVID-19 patients- higher than the state average.
“I want to remind you that elective surgeries can include things like mastectomies, gallbladder surgeries and hip replacements,” said Marjorie Bessel, the Chief Clinical Officer for Banner. “These are medically necessary procedures that, if delayed for too long, can result in medical complications that require hospitalization and intensive care.”
