Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous….. A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. “Take it easy, Doc. You’re boldly going where no man has gone before!

2. “Find Amelia Earhart yet?”

3. “Can you hear me NOW?”

4. “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”

5. “You know, in Arkansas, we’re now legally married.”

6. “Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?”

7. “You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out…”

8. “Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!”

9. “If your hand doesn’t fit, you must quit!

10. “Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.”

11. “You used to be an executive at Enron, didn’t you?”

12 . “God, now I know why I am not gay.”

And the best one of all..

13. “Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?”
 
:lol:

I was waiting in hospital once for an endoscopy, which is when they put the camera down your throat.
When I found out the guy in the next bed was waiting for an colonoscope, :shock: I asked the doctor if I could go first!! .....Do I have to explain?

No wonder, my doctor prefer to put his patients out before doing the colonoscopy.
 
Yes, these are no joke at all. One is being done tomorrow for my SO. Rather poor taste to post this as a joke. Sorry!

Best of luck + hope all goes well!

On a personal level, several years ago I was quite ill and had 7 or 8 colonoscopes in a 2 year period. I loved to joke about it then and still
do now...but thats just me I guess.

I don't think they actually put you out.
You are sedated, you can still talk to the doctor but,
afterwards you won't remember anything that happened.

Yep.....a "twilight" sleep. When I had mine, I remembered absolutely nothing. N0 pain or bleeding, either.
 
I have not done with my colonoscopy yet. I guess I am too chicken... :giggle:
