Colonoscopy...California style
Dec 13, 2018 13:08:33 #
Being nervous, and embarrassed about my up-coming colonoscopy, on a recommendation, I decided to have it done while visiting friends in San Francisco.
Allegedly, the nurses are very beautiful and they are much more gentle.
As I lay naked on my side on the table, the gorgeous nurse began my procedure. She told me,
"Now don't worry, at this stage of the procedure, it's quite normal to get an erection."
"I don't have an erection," I replied.
"I do." replied the nurse.
Never get a colonoscopy in San Francisco.

I believe you are under anesthesia during the procedure. I can remember being way out of it for a couple hours afterwards.

I have had 3 of them over the years. My first one they did not put me to sleep, only enough meds to make me kind of out of it. When finished, they pulled a sheet over me and told me I could roll over and get comfortable. When I did, there were about 6 or 7 young people standing behind the doctor. The doctor said something like, don't pay any attention to these people they are medical students and must observe a number of procedures for their medical training program. I asked him, what am I supposed to do, say glad I could help?

couple years ago I was at Duke being tested for thyroid cancer in the lymph nodes of my neck. I could watch in the monitor what they were doing. The right side went fine. but when they got to the left side the anesthesia was not working. I felt everything. Did they stop and shoot me up again? HELL NO. They told me to hang in there. I could see the needle try to pierce the node and the node kept sliding to the right or sliding to the left. I bet it took him 10 minutes of jiggling the needle around to finish the job. Talk about a torture chamber.

You are all making me very nervous. I am scheduled to have my very first colonoscopy in February, and this post did not help one bit.

As I recall, in my past colonoscopies, it's not the test you have to sweat... it's the studying for it the day before that's the real nightmare!
