Article in the Houston Chronicle discussed the "No-Scalpel Vasectomy" and the fact that Dr. Mobley is offering this new procedure for men requesting
vasectomy. It had been developed in China many years before, and only recently had the technique been taught to American urologists. The article was read by Dan Patrick, president of KSEV radio, and his wife Jan, who had been encouraging Danto have a vasectomy. At the time, Dan
Patrick had a 3-hour sports show in the mornings on KSEV. Dan calls Dr. Mobley to schedule
a vasectomy. A couple of days later Dan calls to
talk to Dr. Mobley about doing his
vasectomy live on the morning sports show. Dr. Mobley thinks this over for a couple of days and says O.K. Dan felt that if he were to do his morning sports show while simultaneously receiving a
vasectomy it would show the public how easy this procedure is, and
encourage more men to do the same. |  | Dan began to mention on his show that his vasectomy was scheduled live on August 7. Public interest began to increase daily.
