Yes, that is the late Lou Rawls as "the colon doctor" in a dream on My Wife and Kids, where he breaks into song.

Probably more than a few on this site with COLON cancer growing NOW.

I've had this painless procedure and absolutely endorse it. I was knocked out and never felt ANYTHING.

Worst part is drinking gallon of lousy tasting liquid beforehand, and staying close to a toilet............

Best part is NOT needless DIEING from Colon Cancer....

I've had it done also Chuck. My experience was the same, painless and over with before you know it. The worst part... well yes, is the solution drinking and the bathroom visits. It's so worth having it done.

Add me to the list of lucky recipients of said procedure...

Docs thought I might've had polyps (sp?) but didn't find anything.

I was knocked out as well, so my only "emotional trauma" of the procedure was the previously mentioned less-than-pleasant pre-treatment festivities. I'd sooner whack myself in the kneecap with a ballpeen hammer than drink that phospha-soda concoction again. Whoever came up with that stuff is truly demented.

Funny, but a little unrealistic.. He would be "doped" up before the "insertion".. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

I recently took my father for his first one of these and he is 63 years old.. It was funny to watch him after the procedure being under the anisthetics.. I got to sit with him immediatley after it was over and he was so "doped up" he kept asking me the same questions over and over.. Of course I drove him home and sat with him for about the next 4 hours until he was back to normal..

While sitting w/my father in the recovery room area there was another gentleman who was probably around 50 yoa that the anisthetics took another kind of effect to.. This guy was hilarious, he was immediately up and walking around after his procedure. He walked over to the nurse's station and was winking at them and even said "hey baby whats going on". The nurses started laughing and one immediately got up and escorted him back into the wheelchair he was sitting in waiting for his son to pick him up. When his son arrived and he was being pushed out of the room this guy started yelling "all right lets burn some rubber".. This was very funny!! Of course my Dad did not remember it...

I just had it done, and I am only 41. Piece of cake that could save your life!
