Even Behaviorists Get Sigmoidoscopies

Turns out that the air-inflation hurts way more than the snake. Not much fun in any event.

In the hospital, we were known to refer to is as "The Silver Stallion".
It came in handy to let our patients waiting for bronchoscopy to sit it; they suddenly became much more accepting of what we wereputting where when faced with what others had to endure.

I'm hoping that by the time I need Endoscopy, they will have perfected the virtual version.

Yes, that would be really nice.

My stomach was upset for the entire day, all for a procedure of a few minutes. Hmph.

Also, they didn't find anything, which means I'm up for the full colonoscopy next. Whee.

take off work the day prior to the procedure and the day of the procedure (Monday is a great day to have it done). Just think, after you're scoped, you're not only allowed to burp and fart without recrimination - you're actually encouraged to do so.
