OT Joke of the day BW IS NEEDED MAJORLY

If you are squeamish, prepare yourself, because I am going to tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was like. I have no idea. Really. I slept through it. One moment, ABBA was yelling 'Dancing Queen, feel the beat of the tambourine,' and the next moment, I was back in the other room, waking up in a very mellow mood. On the subject of Colonoscopies... Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies: [snip] This was hilarious, as Dave Barry's columns always are. I love the line about "at one point briefly passing through Minneapolis". But the above quoted sections of the original post point up something that I have always been a bit confused about. I haven't had a colonoscopy yet. But I'm unclear on the whole anaesthesia part. Are you out cold while the procedure is going on? Dave's column seems to imply this. Yet if patients are making comments, as in the second section, this implies that you are *not* out cold during the procedure. So, to those of you who have had one: do they, or do they not put you completely under for the procedure? I'm definitely due for one, so this has been on my mind. And I'm a lot more concerned about having a "17,000 foot tube" up my butt than I am with drinking gross liquid or being tethered to a toilet for a day or so. I want to be completely unconscious for this. I want to hear an Abba song one minute, and the next, I want some nice person to be telling me it's all done. OK, I can do without the Abba song, but you know what I mean. -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

It is your choice most doctors want you to be out so they don't have to deal with the above most people don't want to know The average human has 17-30+ feet of intestines that is basically a flag pole going where no one should go The drink makes you empty your bowels like you have never emptied them before IF you have ever got a piece of chicken not cooked properly and visited the bathroom 3 times in a row be prepared it is worse. I had one done not long ago. The doctor was getting ready to do the procedure and I was awake. He started to prepare and had some problems with the coil. I in turn started to crack some jokes since I am on a table and all exposed. I had them all laughing. He started to insert and I said WOOOO WOOO doc He said what is the problem I said "what no flowers, candy or even a kiss first". He started laughing so hard he left the room. |

Be sure to let them know several days in advance that you want to be put out. Joy |

I think they put you under so you won't run away when you see the colonscope. I had light sedation. I think less is better because you have less recovery time. Well, I had an impacted wisdom tooth extracted once and they gave me pentothal. I don't remember a thing about the procedure, and I had that lovely experience of watching the chemicals come down the tube toward the IV in my arm one second, and the next second (or so it seemed) I heard a voice in the darkness say, "OK, we're all done". I was actually out for about 10 minutes - that's how long it took them to remove the tooth. And it only took about 15 minutes for me to come out of the fog once I woke up, although I wasn't fit to drive and had to be picked up by a friend. That's how I want a colonoscopy to be. I don't want to be cogent enough to make jokes! -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

Obviously the author was being facetious I think they usually knock you out for a colonoscopy. I've never had one. But I had to have that barium enema thing after my hospitalization for diverticulitis. So the surgeon (who suddenly decided I didn't need surgery when he found out I don't have insurance) could get a good look at my colon. I had to drink a lot of hideous stuff first. They didn't give me anesthesia. It was extremely painful and felt just like what I'd been in the hospital for in the first place. And they didn't even play an Abba song. There was no music, just me practically screaming. I'm never going to let anyone give me a colonscopy without some serious drugs first. Jill |
