    what is supposed to be a simple procedure
    it is a simple procedure, there is nothing at all to worry about.

    Absolutely true. It is uncomfortable, that's all. And if they find something to worry about it is still much better than not having it done. It is uncomfortable, that's all.

And boom - one day just started puking uncontrollably and there it was - full fucking blown - zero chance of survival. One does well to get the check-ups and catch the ones early that can be controlled. Both were given less than six months - one made it a year - the other - one of the longest surviving pancreatic cancer patients in California - made 37 months. RIPx2.
    Exactly the same for my first cousin in Canada, a shrink by profession and a record holder in his age group for both triathalon and marathon running. The last time i saw him, as always, he was completely slim, fit and suntanned. One day he came out of the bathroom and said to his wife: "I've either got bowel or pancreatic cancer..." He was gone two years later. The first indication something was wrong was when he felt too tired to finish a marathon for the first time ever...

    My brother had it done not long ago, he said they pumped his arse full of air and when they pulled the camera out he guffed like like a camel on a fig juice diet! Germans pay good money for that kind of thing.

    the apparatus they use for the examination, the long tube thingy, not only has a camera but it can lightly inflate the section of the bowel the doctor is examining at that moment with air, it can squirt water to clear any remaining faecal particles and also has a suction function to suck up the water and any air. there should be very little remaining air after the procedure, at least not enough to cause uncomfortable distension of the bowel.

    i think your brother was just milking it so as to have a good story to tell.

    you are deeply sedated when they finish the procedure and wake up hours later in a recovery room.


    farting after a colonoscopy, pffft, its an old wives tale. dont you believe it.

    Had one and the same - not admitted to hospital. Outpatient only. Wasn't too bad other than shittin' by brains out the night before.
    Friday ... 21 August 2015 ... A day I'm not looking forward to. Nor the day before drinking the special elixir or whatever it is. Should take 2-3 hours from entry to release.
    Whats all this fuss about SK ? go on see Dr Rawls

    Pretty sad when a GP cannot don a latex glove and diagnose hemorrhoids is it not?
    Did he ask for a stool sample to be analyzed? Blood in a stool can be so many things Google tells us. No mention of proctologists I note?
    My ex had Crones...me a couple of years after our marriage I was diagnosed with Colitis. The whole ball of wax with pipes up the bum etc...Couple of polyps cut out. Three months after having been medicated with Salazopyrin (sulfur)..No more symptoms..Stopped taking the shit. No problems thereafter.
    Now they say Colitis and Crones needs antibiotics same same ulcers…
    Sorry but medicos read a few books take an exam, hang a certificate on the wall and we tend to think they are frickin gods!
    Thai MIL diagnosed with Cancer…doc said needed chemo…her son had died of cancer previous year..she said NO way she would go through that…she is alive and ticking 5 years later. Symptoms gone… nose bleeds FFS!! Probably due to high blood pressure and burst sinus membranes…what do I know?
    Not unusual for a mechanic to tell you need 1000+ bucks of work when really all you need to top up or change your oils!!??

    It was done at a Naval Hospital so you can bet they take every opportunity to practice their skills since most of their patients are under 50. Also, it's partially a numbers game as well to keep up and justify the budget. Doc said I'm good to go for 10 years. And yes, hemorrhoid and a recommendation to up the fiber.

    Reminds me ... Got handed a couple of bottles and told to give myself an enema the first thing in the morning.

    Would have preferred one of the sexy looking nurses but rather do it myself than have one of the male corpsman do it.
