I hate colonoscopies

[crankcall]

Good advice for maintenance, but if your over 50 just get it done . Anybody know the percentage rate of colon perforations ? I’ll bet way less than issues surrounding’ I didn’t get checked’ .
One of the complications my dad died from , he was early 90s and had a few was ass cancer . Nobody wants ass cancer .

Just think. Forty four years ago I was part time chauffeur for a guy that had his gall bladder removed six months earlier. He was just getting back to work. Back then they opened you up like a gym bag. Now it's day surgery and you're not supposed to lift anything heavy for a few days.

Fake news. Had my gallbladder removed and stayed in the hospital for 2 days.

Couldn’t do anything a for a few weeks due to the pain.

Yes it’s only 4 incisions…but it hurt like a mofo after.

Gall bladder can be saved easily by a simple, but brutal procedure...depends on your level of tolerance. It's basically the prep for a colonoscopy. You drink an 8 oz glass of water with two tablespoons of Epsom Salts which cleans you out from mouth to the other end. That's what you're doing when prepping for a colonoscopy. You then mix 6 oz of olive oil with four squeezed lemons into a glass, swig it back, go to bed, lay on right side (liver side). Since the common bile duct is forced open by the Epsom Salts, the moment the liver senses the oil (fat) from the olive oil, it sends a signal to the gallbladder to dump its contents. You will feel them sliding out, popping out, pain, pressure, then relief. The next morning they will be dumped out of your other end into the toilet. Both calcified and non calcified (coagulated bile). Thousands of them.

Or you can go under the knife.

I just had a cystoscopy and got to see the inside of my bladder. 1% of the pain of a colonoscopy. Drive there. Drive home. No special preps.

If that's the procedure that uses the Johnson-Scope, I'd need a full-on anesthetic.

I probably need full anesthesia just to sign the consent form for anything that travels inside that route.

My dad told me to take the pills and not get reamed for an enlarged prostate. When you stop peeing blood you can go home.

A friend had a TURP, the roto rooter from hell. Peed blood for a week but once over it, is glad he did it. There are less aggressive remedies but OHIP won't pay for some of them. The friend used to take regular visits to ER to have catheters put in.

One not paid for by OHIP is Rezum, a shot of steam in the right spot. I can't help but think of my first bike and commuting all winter. One day with my hands freezing and stopped at a traffic light I reached down and held onto the exhaust pipes for a moment. Then I felt tug as the leather palms overheated and seized into permanent curls. I wonder if....
