Probably. I think it said on the website they're planning to be in the air for 80 hours. I don't think he'll be able to hold it for that long.

On a Smoke Jumper aircraft they have a funnel attached to a surgical tube that goes out of the aircraft.

I seriously doubt he has a catheter. Probably just uses a Little John.

So after my appy a couple years ago I couldn't go afterwards. They decided to straight cath me, and, well, given I was going to work at this hospital, there was no way that another nurse who I may have to work with was going to SC me while I was awake (hey, if I'm asleep, at least then I'm oblivious to it all). She brought in the kit, and I said I'll do that. She gave me the craziest look, and I told her I would call her when I was done. Let me tell you, it was painful as hell, but at least I got to save some of my vanity (at least I think I did).

I think only a surgeon would do that.

AND, I would do it again, but ask for the viscous lidocaine next time.

I'd ask to be hit upside the head with a brick!
