I'm on a two year cycle for the colonoscopy drill (my cruder aircrafter buddies refer to it as a "borescope" inspection).

The first one I had was close to forty years ago and was brutal. Extremely painful, but don't let me scare anybody off. Huge advances have been made, not only in that procedure but in just about everything else medical. For my more recent examinations I have been either heavily sedated or zonked out completely and they haven't been bad at all.

So do It!

I guess the worst part is having to drink some grim tasting stuff then dealing with the result of having done so.

And, yes, they have found some polyps, but dealing with them wasn't too tough either.

Thanks for bringing the subject up, Twitch.
