OT: Colonoscopy
- Thread starter JayDogSmooth
- Start date
Bro, it's a black hose about 10 feet long. I've seen them. They're terrifying. I have no idea how much they jam up you and I don't want to know. Fingers are the least of your worries.
Butt don't worry, you'll be fine.[winking]

The last photo with the 'Exit' sign made me giggle.
Good thing the girl wasn't exiting through a bunch of hemorrhoids. I am not in that line of work but I wonder what they do when they have patients with them. Just cut or cauterize them out? Think it's time to check the practice report thread again.....

Guys be honest, does it hurt ??? I have a wedding to go to and I don't want to walking around limping or in pain because I got finger blasted the day before
@RUScrew85 your photos in order:
and FYI: every colonoscopy starts with a finger in the butt to check for low masses and prostates.
- colonoscope
- tip for end of scope to press out all the nooks and crannies so you can find hidden polyps,.
- nice pic of colon and tip of scope
- Esophagogastrodudonoscopy scope (EGD) does not go in your butt...goes down your throat into your stomach
- HIPAA violation
- very cute. I see a fake ulceration and 2 polyps.

The only discomfort is the hunger and constant #2 for the night before. They will put you out after you are wheeled into the room. You will feel nothing. You will be unconscious. You will wake up back in the recovery room. There is nothing to it. (Except as outlined above LOL)
it does not hurt. it will be the best sleep of your life and you won't even know it happened. it will also be your happy day: you will be encouraged to fart.
How is #5 a HIPAA violation?
I hate it when people do this. It irritates the shit outta me.
I'm guessing if it's a real pic of a real patient it shouldn't have been on Google images?
Yeah, so... No.
HIPAA is pretty clear as to its scope. Further, there's all kinds of helpful interpretive literature available.
In a nutshell, HIPAA restrictions are specific to the release of individual patient information by (and only by) what is termed a "covered entity". Covered entities are defined as those entities which transmit patient information, electronically or otherwise, to the health insurance tier.
So, no... A picture of an anonymous, unidentified female (presumed to be female) lying on a gurney with a black tube poking her in the ass is not a HIPAA violation.
Well not to put words in the boss' mouth I'm guessing since she's not a lawyer she falls on the (very) conservative side of an interpretation.
BTW, you are last in the amateur meteorologist poll on the FB board. : P
The lady behind the curtain next to me post scope was farting up a storm. I was told that is common. I'm normally pretty active myself but didn't experience it. Was extremely hungry due to fasting and went directly to a restaurant (was in Manhattan).
A) There's no real "conservative side" of the interpretation. It's pretty simple. Just that people tend to over-cite it.
B) I have zero f*cks to give. My self-esteem does not rise and set on what people think of my met skills. They're for me. I know, with a pretty high degree of accuracy, what the weather is going to be like at the places where I happen to be. It's why I don't get involved in the endless arguments about which shitty little corner of NJ got how much snow. The only snow that matters is the snow in my driveway.
I hear ya. You're jealous of Tango Two. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Besides how do I only get one 'Like' on that hilarious post above? Sheesh, tough crowd.
Seriously.Do not leave the house after you take the stuff.Not until the next morning when you are scheduled for the scoping.That stuff is very potently effective. If you think that you have to pass gas,do it on the john.You will be getting a very thorough cleaning out so think of any urge as one to defecate.Otherwise you may get an unpleasant surprise.
people have different levels of the farting. sometimes I can hear them in my office, most times not
@RU4Real I tend to group invasion of privacy along with HIPAA...right or wrong. Taking someone's pic while under anesthesia is a clear violation of privacy and would result in firing if I caught any of my employees doing it. Hell, I even asked MrScrew if I could take his photo while he was waiting to go in before his procedure. It is a line I won't cross and have no tolerance for those who do.
A nurse in NYS just lost her license for taking and sharing photos of patient's penis' without consent.

Yeah, but my likes are worth like 10 likes. Maybe 100. It's exponential. So at least you have that going for you.
Honored to have just given Jay Dog his first "like." How could you not like a guy who thinks he has a colonoscopy the next day, has ignored the stuff they gave him to drink, and comes onto the board to ask if he should have it done or reschedule (as opposed to maybe, calling the doctor's office).
I'm thinking we have an NYCBanker-in-training here. Good on ya, Jay Dog.

Well I gave him #2, pun fully intended and most appropriate for this thread, i must say.
Awkward Question but give me a "Shart Percentage" if I take the drink stuff - reason why I'm asking is I rescheduled the actual session for a weekday, but I have a big presentation for work that day, and I really don't feel like presenting with a turd running down my leg. Is it really that potent?
You do not want to be anywhere other than at home once you start the cleansing procedure.
None of his coworkers would want him anywhere but home either. If he commutes on public transit, his fellow commuters DEFINITELY don't want him anywhere but home.
I don't always do colonoscopy prep in public. But when I do, I bring a large funnel and several empty gallon milk jugs. With screw on caps.
Very funny article written by Dave Barry about having a colonoscopy. Google it.
I've had two. The first prep was awful, the second wasn't nearly as bad. New stuff they gave was so much more tolerable.
First one I had though, the staff (outside of the Dr) looked like they just came out of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Oh great...
Then the second, the staff looked like it came from the cast of La Cage Aux Folles.
