Ah no , nephew had it done lot's of times/he suffers from Crohn's disease. It is unpleasant but hey its got to be done.
Now Ass chin up.;)
MY GF and her sister also have Chrons. Diagnosed in their early 20's. :mad:
When her sister was in hospital and I was on builders holidays I was visiting her. I was sitting whilst she was asleep reading the paper and noticed her chart. It had a graph and being a bloke I had to check out this graph. It charted her bowel movements. I put it back and put the information into my memory. She woke up and whilst still dazed I asked her did she want me to help her out of bed to use the toilet. She asked why. I picked up her chart and said because she hasnt had a bowel movement for the past 8 hours. Oh and there was laughing, lots of laughter. She did not laugh.
Nor did the nurse. I told them they should all loosen up. I laughed louder, they did not laugh. 
Damn Women!
Little story to lighten the though of a camera up your bottom. Whilst my GF was in hospital a few weeks later she was in a room with 4 other beds. Two were occupied, one by an African American lady and the other by an extremely old woman. I was not sure whether she was alive or dead until she said "IT". The nurse was in cleaning around and the old woman sat up in the bed and considering I thought she was dead this caught my attention. She said to the nurse. "Where you not here till late last night as well? My god, they have you working like a black".
We all, except the old woman, looked at the american lady(black) whom just shrugged and said "ah, old people cant live with them, cant kill them". I said "wait", nobody found that funny. 0 -

Depends... if you're on private health insurance the camera is smaller.
If you're going public, they have a standard webcam on a stick.0 -

They won't do a colonoscopy without sedative AFAIK. I had one a few weeks ago. Nothing to worry about. Watched it all on screen and chatted with my consultant about politics the whole time 0 -

Oh they will. MY gf and her sister were on so much medication including high doses of steroid injections that they felt the sedative would cause them to go into a coma possibly so it was not worth the risk so they simply went in without anything to soothe the pain.
I still remember how deliruos my GF was when she was coming to in the bed. She was like a raving lunatic and some people were getting a little upset because they were heavily drugged up. It was like a jeriatric ward(geriatric maybe). A nurse walked past and said "ah, she is recovering from her sedative"I said "what sedative, we are only in visiting somebody". again she did not laugh. Were is the humour in the hospitals? 0 -
