The Vasectomy Doctor

After graduating from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Dr. Andrew Rynne interned in Canada where he was introduced to vasectomy after starting a general practice in Mitchell, Ontario. Upon his return in 1974, he challenged laws imposed by the Church and State by becoming the first doctor to perform vasectomies in Ireland. In 1990, a man with a grudge and a rifle entered his surgery. Won Audience Choice Award for Best Short Film at the 2019 Dingle International Film Festival among other awards.
