Kidney stones???? Suck!

Good God, 5 and 7mm? I though I saw the pearly gates when I got my bore punched with the "Stainless Stallion" after a nasty little "transmitted disease" gave me the drip. This was so common oversees that we called the Oversees Service Ribbon the "Clap ribbon" Do they still insert a probe and shatter them with sonic waves so they pass as shrapnel instead of a warhead?
