Lenny,
We thought Mike's PEG tube removal would be a simple yank by the doctor too. It was quite a surprise to find out he had to go to outpatient surgery, get general anesthesia and pull the inside anchor plug out by going up and out through his throat. The tube then was pulled out from the outside.
They called this a Esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
(I'm thinking supercalafraglistickexpeladosis!)
