Things You Don’t Want to Hear Before a Colonoscopy

Atom.

Today, I had a colonoscopy, and while prepping for it, I kept thinking about things that the doctor could say that would make me really nervous when going under for the procedure:

  • "Wow, nice ass!"
  • "Let’s see if the resident can do it right this time…"
  • "Fine, Kutner, do your colonoscopy. Thirteen, Foreman, let’s get a brain biopsy."
  • "Dr Palmer, I don’t think shrinking yourself is appropriate for this procedure."
  • "Dammit Jim, I’m a doctor, not a butt-spelunker!"
  • "We’ll have to improvise: Kate, get the painkillers from my tent; Sawyer, Sun, gather as much hollow bamboo as you can. Hurley, you’ll need to restrain him."

  1. Your Brother Tom Says:

    When I had a barium enema a few years back, the only thing I recall thinking was, “It really wouldn’t make any difference if the technician whispered ‘I love you’ in my ear during the procedure.”
