If you've noticed fewer men at work this week, it may not be because there's something "going around." Some of them may have scheduled a "delicate" procedure this week - so they could watch the NCAA Tournament games "guilt-free."

Commercials are running during the game that state, “Need an excuse to stay home and watch college basketball this March? I can help.”

The help that’s being referenced… is a vasectomy, a mildly painful procedure that will make a man sterile.

It seems that in order to watch the NCAA Tournament, some guys are willing to do just about anything.

It seems extreme but some Virginia urologists are using TV and Radio spots to reach men who need an excuse to miss work.

Dr. Liu of Chesapeake gives a bit of advice. He says, “Have it done, go home and relax. It’s perfect timing. Have a couple of days off.”
