DVD of your surgery?

Hi all,
I just wondered if anyone else has had the same experience I had..
I had my surgery on Nov 5th (I'm from the UK). I didn't go through the NHS, I took out a loan to go private.
The day after my surgery my surgeon came in to check in and after a couple of questions he handed me a DVD and said "here you go, this is your surgery". I was still a bit groggy so I took it and said thanks and put it in my bag. I haven't really thought about it until this evening when I was shredding paperwork and found it hidden in a newspaper I must have had while I was there. It has my name on it. A couple others from the same surgeon have also received their own surgery DVDs also.
Has anyone else been given this? I haven't watched it, I really have no intention of watching it. Why would I want to watch surgeons cutting me open and putting tubes and equipment in me!
It's just so bizarre. I admit there's a teeny weeny part of me that's curious I suppose... but would you guys watch it if you have one? Or were given one?
I suppose it would come in handy if I ever needed an alibi for that day!
