Interview with a man who had a vasectomy during the East Coast earthquake

A 4.8-magnitude earthquake shook parts of the East Coast of the United States on Friday. I was safe in my apartment wondering if the violent shaking in my building was because my neighbor was running his washing machine or if the bad pipes in my building were about to rupture in some spectacular way.

But Justin Allen, a stay-at-home father from Pennsylvania, was probably the last place you wanted to be during an earthquake. He was placed on an examination bed with the doctor's hands and pointy objects cutting off his testicles.

About an hour after Allen left the clinic and headed to the pharmacy, he called WIRED to chat about the ridiculous timing of his vasectomy.

McKenna Kelly: Okay. First of all, are you okay?

Justin Allen: I'm good. I just came home. I'm starting to relax now.

Were you really nervous before starting the procedure?

I actually have white coat hypertension. So my blood pressure was already pretty high when I walked in, and I was definitely nervous. The doctor walked me through it step by step, which calmed me down through the whole thing, but I'm always nervous about things like this.

At what stage of the procedure did this happen?

We were probably about halfway there. Basically, the action started around 10:10 [am ET] It was at 10:24 or 10:25 that the earthquake struck.

Can you paint me a picture of what that table looked like?

I'm lying there. He's in the middle of whatever he wants to do there, and the entire building starts shaking. I wasn't sure what was happening. It sure felt like an earthquake, but we don't usually experience one. I didn't know if there was a train nearby or something that would cause the building to shake.

Then the doctor said: Oh my God. “This is an earthquake.” I thought he was messing with me. I thought he was just trying to be funny. But while that was happening, the office staff outside the room started screaming about an earthquake, and I thought, “Oh, wow, this is really happening.” And the doctor puts down the instruments. He asks, “How long does an earthquake usually last?” And the nurse says, “I’m thinking a minute or two.” So we stop and wait, and then he resumes work once it’s done.

So it stopped just as the vibration happened?

I think so. He was at the end of whatever move he was making right then and there. But he put the tools down for a moment to recalibrate.

At that moment, how did you feel?

We used to laugh about it, because we had never experienced it. So it doesn't look like a serious earthquake. It was just kind of rumbling. Then the doctor, nurse, and I joked about how we'd never forget where we were at that moment. I get this whole story for the rest of my life. I had a vasectomy and the earthquake happened and I don't live in California or anything like that. On the East Coast, this doesn't happen. It was definitely a surprise.
