The prep work is the worst part

A doctor put a camera in my butt. Not for a procedure - he suspected his nurse

More times than I’d care to admit. The prep is the worst part. Also make sure

I did, but not by choice. On my mission in Korea I had to have several tests done, & wasn't put under for any of them.

Best sleep you ever had. Worst part is the IV. The prep isn't bad, other than the requirement to drink so much in

That's just a cliche thing people say. It isn't true though.

Which part is the cliche?

I guess we are both right. My watch is always yelling about my sleep habits. Whatever the anesthetist used works for

Deep surgeries for me are different and waking up sucks. I'm typically angry because of the brain fog and I don't like

Oh yeah. I guess I’m not even considering the waking up part when people say it

Superkid

Both can be true

Tbh, I genuinely felt it was, but I also have poor, self-imposed sleep habits.

I preferred the Colonoscopy to a Bone Marrow Biopsy

I've heard bone marrow biopsies are brutal

You should ask Oscar if there’s anything you can do to make it more enjoyable for you… or the doctor.

It’s 2025 no one should be wiping, what are we a 3rd world country?

Anyone know why they put you under? Why not just a local anesthetic?

I guess just comfort because of the whole "violation" thought of it. I scheduled mine with an endoscopy, I wouldn't

CB Docs-is the new blood test or Cologard not sufficient enough to avoid this?
