You're going to stick your finger where ... !?

yep colonoscopy is a breeze, uncomfortable but not the end of the world.
however getting a scope with a grabber up your willy is fairly intense!!!!!

True! - Saved mine and if you don't have insurance or the means the delays in the public system "might" just be your death warrant! (opinion not known fact)

I was lucky. Didn't have insurance or the means to pay myself but being a little symptomatic and having a family history got it for me in the public system and I think I only had to wait three weeks.

Yes, my brother in law has gone through that over the past 9 months.

My Ex, whilst in training, came home still laughing one day. She clean forgot the lube and dry fingered some poor cunt. Lucky the glove didn't rip too...

...but I have know recollection of the intervening 25 minutes...

Its the weirdest sensation that - i swear i was concious and could/would remember the whole thing (those 25 minutes) right up until i realised i couldnt/didnt.

Largely depends on your GP. Strong enough referral letter and they'll find you a slot. In the SI anyway there appears to be plenty of capacity.
Mine was done at Ashburton who do outwork for the canty DHB but there are at least two clinics in ChCh as well.

I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy

I remember being wheeled wheeled back to recovery thinking these cunts haven't done anything when are they fucking starting

I'd really like those drugs daily

Years ago I had a gastroscopy, two options sedation or just numb the throat and no recovery time, I choose the latter, seriously most unpleasant mistake I've made in my life, the throat may be numb but you can feel the fucking thing going down your throat and moving about inside you

ha, i was given those options when i had the big V, doc says, "so do you want a local so you can watch and will have a quicker recovery time or i can give you a pill to knock you out". the answer for me was simple, give me the fucken pill i aint watching me junk get cut open.

i had a colonoscopy last year, no problems, i agree the drugs are fanfuckingtastic

I had that a few years back. I don't recall if I was offered the knock out pill but I just had the local. Couldn't watch of course but he did give me a running commentary. My only worrying time was when I smelt burning flesh and I expected Dr to say "Oh sorry, I seem to have set your cock on fire"

Speaking of drugs and being relaxed...

if you ever have eye surgery or cataracts done there's the preliminaries when the anaesthetist says "Look over there for a moment" and sticks a needle into the eyeball...

I've actually had a couple (errrr not that I like them or anything) the first one I had very minor sedation,feels pretty weird felling it moving round inside you and they let you watch on the tv screen, I'd rather have the drugs, not because I need them but because I want them

[Akzle]

I I'd rather have the drugs, not because I need them but because I want them

me too.

drugs...and nothing up my arse.

that would surely put you on a bad buzz

But the drugs are so good you don't actually realise that the Hubble Telescope's younger brother is up your arse. (Hubble proper can see other galaxies but Hubble's younger brother can only see a wee bit past Uranus.)

Pretty sure that's how I got pregnant.
