colonoscopies

A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!

2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?'

3. 'Can you hear me NOW?'

4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?'

5. 'You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married.'

6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?'

7. 'You put your left hand in; you take your left hand out...'

8. 'Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!'

9. 'If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!

10. 'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.'

11. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?'

And the best one of all.

12. 'Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?' :happy-very:

In the spirit of not being sexist, I think someone should post a female perspective too!

I have had to go through many.
I remember telling the doctor, during the procedure,
"What no tequila, no flowers? You ain't getting no second date"
In recovery, when the doc came in to tell me the results, I asked him if I had said that out loud. (Demerol has strange effects).
He just laughed and told me he never listens to people on drugs.

They will not let you go until you pass gas after the procedure.
After I passed gas, I told the nurse that I had.
She said, "Yeah, we heard ... you're free to go."

When my hubby had his procedure, after he passed gas, the 'crew' cheered him. An action that gets you dirty looks in a mall gets you applause at the colonoscopy.
:thumbup:

Since we can all laugh about this procedure please make sure your loved ones that are "afraid" to have one let them see the humor in this relatively painless invasion.

If anyone was awake and can remember what was happening to them you need to see a different Doc.:peaceful: The worst part of the whole procedure is the crap they make you drink the night before (and what it does to you):surprised:

Yeah, the razor blades and flames shooting out of your backside are not fun.

The procedure on the other hand is easy as pie. Like someone else said, if you're awake and know what's going on, you need a new doctor!

I was awake (but sedated) and I could see the monitor that the Doc was watching. He was explaining everything that could be seen including the floaters!

The procedure is painless but the prep the day before was the problem. Why can I drink a couple of gallons of beer but only half a gallon on prep?

my dad is a gastroenterologist, he does these on a regular basis. there a some funny stories about what people say under sedation. Before they are totally under, and when they are awaking. but he said that they never feel anything and are not really aware of anything during the proceedure.

but from the female perspective, at the "lady doctor" i once asked her if she would dust a little as long as she was there. LOL. :laughing:

Thanks Sat. I'm honored that you care. I'm behind on a few things and really need to get caught up on them. I will add that to the list.

LOL Dill, i know you didn't intend the pun (or did you) but the use of "I'm behind" when talking about colonscopies made me laugh out loud. :laughing:

I have to admit that it was completely unintentional. I even had to re-read my post to see what you were talking about. It was pretty funny though.

Actually, I was remembering that I need to get another mammo done. 2 years ago there was a small spot. It hasn't changed any but it is time to have it checked again.

please, please, please get that taken care of asap. my gramma, went every year, and everything was always "normal" but when she was 94years old, (and sharp as a tack, lived alone and funny as can be) started having back pains. welllllllllllllll, it seems she had back cancer, it went there from her breast. all these years she had breast cancer, and it was so high up in the tail of the breast they didnt see it. even after they knew it was there, they had a hard time seeing it. she died almost 1 year to the day later.

please ask your doctor about a breast MRI. they are much better, and far less painful.
