And then you have the beautifully rendered views of your colonoscopy on a DVD. Handed out in nicely numbered and addressed white envelopes as you leave the hospital.
Exactly what do you do with all these documentation?
Paul : That was one helluva colonoscopy. It deserves a hand. Hell, give it an encore!
Ginny : Wonder what they'd do for a sequel!
For the laypersons, a colonoscopy constitutes the endoscopic examination of the colon and the distal part of the small bowel with a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube. Think a scenic train ride up your anus with a few pit stops during the large bowel route and ending two stations after Appendix Central - barring the occasional obstruction in the form of fecal landslides of course.
Not exactly the kinda video show you play for the curious neighbours during a formal dinner party. How exactly do you introduce a video showcasing your freshly laundered bowels?
Joe : Oh Fred and Alicia, come watch my colon!
Alicia : OMG.
Joe : Yeah, a bit of shit here and there. Probably shouldn't have taken a large dinner the night before. Oops, there's a big one.
Alicia : I think I might hurl.
Joe : Hold on, you haven't even seen the large polyp yet!
Seriously. No one - not even the greatest perv - needs to see your colon all the way up to the appendix.
Same goes for the sonograph and the earwax bit. Short of being your personal attending physician, I don't think anyone really wants to know what's going on! That precious sonograph of your fetus is just black-and-white patches to anyone else like a Roscharch ink blot. The precise high-definition shots of your bleeding vagina as the newborn baby is ripped out is just the next horror-suspense movie waiting to happen.
What's next? Gallstones as earrings?

You have to be careful, sometimes they tape it to catch doctors off guard and look for opp to sue.
