Mar 14, 20188 yr Author Experts Just one question; you got propofol?? When I got my colonoscopy I got a bit of wood (no leather straps - BSE don'tcha know) to bite on.Reminds me of a time when no comfort meds were used with colonoscopies:Back in 1986, an extremely hard-of-hearing elderly Patient was to undergo a Colonoscopy. We were in a closed room, so I felt comfortable SPEAKING VERY LOUDLY!I explained every portion of the procedure in minute detail. The Patient would reply now and then with "uh huh" indicating understanding. FIRST, THE DOCTOR WILL SPREAD YOUR CHEEKS ! "uh huh" THEN THE DOCTOR WILL APPLY THE LUBRICANT! "uh huh" THEN THE DOCTOR WILL INSERT THE SCOPE! "uh huh". Through the entire explanation of the Procedure. Silently, the stone faced Doctor walked into the room and without a word, sat down, spread the Patient's cheeks, applied lubricant, and readied the scope for insertion. HERE IT COMES! I yelled.The Doctor lost it, laughing.[ATTACH=CONFIG]26325[/ATTACH]

Mar 14, 20188 yr My all-time favorite 'prep' name, which I've only heard of once, in the 90's, when a friend had to take it, was 'Evacu-quick'. Kinda leaves nothing to the imagination...
Like the PITA it is.
