Colonoscopy open discussion

I think you can arrange to do them both under the same anaesthesia.

Nah. I’m good. Mine was done, swear this is true, in the VA by a team of female Asian doctors and nurses all in blue and white scrubs.

It was a challenge to not joke around for fear of accidentally raising Cain.

Good lord, this sounds like the blurb for a certain kind of niche porno.

The first time I went for a prostate check, this drop-dead gorgeous nurse told me what to do, and said “wait”. I was like “Wow! This won’t be as bad as expected!”
Then this midget, bearded, old man rocked up and put his hand up my ass.
Damn, was I disappointed!

Can o’ worms, mate.

Yep, that’s how mine were done.

Once I woke up in the middle with the anesthesia. I had the sensation of someone poking around my anus, but I was entirely untroubled by it that state, at least. I went back to sleep

Sorry about that. I’ll buy you a pint sometime.

Get it done, all you over 40. Whether under anesthesia or not.

No doubt

In some companies people at certain job level get 15-20K budget per year for the yearly health check-up. Many of these people have these checks every year or every two years, just because they can. Of course they ask for anesthesia.

If you are buying it as an add-on to regular health-check I guess it makes sense since you are already going there anyway.

endo and colon is free in Taiwan with NHI. add ons like pills anaesthesia etc are what cost money.

Mine cost 450nt total (not counting pills) for 3 visits and endo / colon. First visit to tell him I needed it, second to do it, third to see results. All within 2 weeks.

It always bothers me that if you know you need or want something you first need to pay a doctor to have a diagnosis that you already knew you needed. Then you usually have to come back another day to have it done.

Honey Bee at Sukhumvit Soi 24 offers a very nice prostrate exam for, oh, 1500 baht, tip optional.

You’d have to be prostrate, that goes without saying.

I keep reading that as “prostate.” I guess it’s kind of the same thing?

In this context probably yes.

Dammit. I meant prostate.

Ask for Lily.
