Title: Colonoscopy - have you had yours ?
Post by OneEyeBlind on Nov 20^th, 2004, 7:29pm

Colonoscopies: HAVE YOU HAD YOURS

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?"

12. "God, Now I know why I am not gay."

And the best one of them all...

13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is
not up there."

I have seen that before! I was just quoting some of those to my brother-in-law the other night before he went for his colonoscopy - he wasn't so amused by it. oh well, I try.

If I must have one, then fair enough, but if I can feel one of his hands on each my shoulders .........

Yes.....but I still have Clusterheadaches... ;;D

Seriously, my Father passed at 46 from colon cancer....I have been tested every five years since age 35. They are almost certain is genetic for him to pass so young...hence...I have been "scoped" from BOTH ends....meet in the middle I reckon.

My Dr (http://www.giahealth.com/chobanian.htm) is the same one who removed Regans' polyps if you can remeber that. He was on the Congressional Medical Staff. The inventor (http://www.giahealth.com/bergein.htm) of the Colonoscope is right here in Knoxville and my Dr is in that group. (http://www.giahealth.com/overview.htm)

I am very lucky to have such good care for that end...prolly the best in the world.

Careful where you sit,
Mark

Mine will be behind me on the 2nd.

I'll never get why a MD would pick this for a specialty. Kramer's "Assman" are all over the place.

Nope! Told the doc we'd have one of those right after the Penogram! He cancelled it and hasn't brought it up since. Told him if I get a lump, I'll just buy a bigger bra....

My question (and remember I'm OLD) how the hell did we EVER get through all those years without all these designer tests?

I get mine done on Dec.13th. The only reason why I even got up the courage to call and make the appt., is because I found a lump. Just a small one, I'm sure it's nothing, but it is enough to make a gal paranoid. :-/

Mel, let me check that out for you. I will give you a thorough breast exam, and I won't even charge you!

I have very experienced hands, and my tongue does a fine inspection job, too!

PS: Prayers and vibes that it is "nothing" !!!!

Yes I was! Oh my, I hope that is all it is! I stopped drinking soda about 3 days ago because it was beginning to do a number on my teeth. I have never heard of cystic breasts? I'll have to do a search on it.

Thanks for the concerns!

Don't worry Mel. If it IS anything, I'm sure you've caught it in well enough time. But yeah, any lump should not be ignored.

Another fun thing to say during a colonscopy:

"Hey, have you found Willy Wonka in my chocolate factory yet?" ;;D

Peace,
