Any guys here over 50 should remember this article next time you go for a colonoscopy.

 

Roto-rooter that the name....

By the time I am 50 we will just swallow a pill and we'll have a complete medical history! :nana:

 

And...just thinking about that - that's only 21 years away! :ph34r:

I turn 50 in six months. My wife has had two colonoscopies and said the drugs are great. So I've got that to look for.

 

 

LOL...I'm 51 and have two colonoscopies. Yeah, with the drugs they gave me, they could have driven a bus through my colon and I wouldn't have cared!

The worst thing about a colonoscopy is not the roto-rooter job but the gallon of white crap you have to drink the night before.

Yep that milky crap sucks but it cleans ya out bigtime :sick:

The drugs scare me more than the roto-rooter. My dad had a colonoscopy a couple years ago and the drugs (Demoral I think it's called) made him stop breathing

I remember a few years ago reading an article by some comedian. He said don't mix it with juice. He mixed his with vodka. :thumbsup:

My guess is that once the drugs wear off you might notice if they did :w00t: I've only got a few years before I get to experience this joy.

The drugs were indeed great but they have a terrible side affect...they wear off!! (not until the next day though :)

The predecessor of the colonoscopy was the Barium xray. You didn't drink the white crap the night before, you took 4 tblsp of castor oil. Talk about disgusting, would rather have 4 gallons of the white crap then 4 tblsp of castor oil. As for the xray itself, most pain I've ever been in (and I had Eric Woods compound fracture injury in 76). That was enough to get me to change a meat and potatoes based diet to a fruit and vegetable based diet.
