Colonoscopy: Not a Funny Subject.......or IS it?

A Colonoscopy, according to Wikipedia, is an examination that the end results could be multiple diagnoses including the dreaded colon cancer.  With it being the 3rd most common form of cancer and the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world, it is no laughing matter!

SO....stop right now and pick up the phone for your next appointment!

Here are some fun things to say to your doctor while you're there:

  • Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?photo by flickr
  • You know in Arkansas, we're now legally married!
  • Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity!
  • You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?
  • Find Amelia Earhart yet?
  • Any sign of the trapped miners, Doc?
  • Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!
  • If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!
  • You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out...
  • Can you hear me NOW?
  • Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!
  • Man, now I know why I am not gay!

And now for my personal favorite:

  • Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?!?

Okay, anyone have any better quips that these to add to the list?  Bring 'em on!!!

Don't forget to make your appointment.  It may be the most important appointment of your LIFE!!!

Lucky :)

You should think about asking your doctor if he or she drives a Ford probe.

No quips.  While your 'funnies' did bring a grin to my face, this really is a serious subjuect.  Thanks for bringing it up.

But I am happy to say that my step dad who had colon cancer removed  4 years ago just had a colonoscopy last week and nothing was found!   Each year that goes by with a good report means the chances of recurrence are lower and lower.  woo hoo!

Lucky ~ Thanks for bringing up a serious topic; colonoscopies are so important  and from what I have heard from others, have saved lives.

On your kidding around note - and keeping in the holiday season - now you  know what an angel on top of the tree feels like!

I prefer the Ford "Explorer"!  (What were those guys at FORD thinking?)

Hi Lucky,

While I was having my colonoscopy, I asked the Dr. if he liked his job.  He said "yes, he couldn't do anything else." 

It is good to remind people to get this done.  I don't understand why some people do not want to just get it done.

Leslie,

One friend of mine told me he actually enjoys going because he gets really good drugs!

As for me, I only do it because I don't want to be one of those "other" statistics.

Lucky  I just had my first one done last week ans the Doctor I went puts you to sleep for the proceedure. My kids were thinking that I was going to put to sleep like the neighbors dog.

Hey, Lucky... Stopped by here by way of reciprocating, and found this... Being of the gender I am, really can't say I know how that feels, but I do know a few good souls who are still alive because of this test...
On the funny side, the only thing that jumps to mind is Cosmo Kramer's auto tag, and well, fussili Jerry :-)

Lucky, my husband always says, Are you glad to have that behind you??? I hope it came out alright!

EEEWWWWWWWWWWW.... Merry Christmas. Deb

Inna,

Kramer was a riot, wasn't he?

Deb,

Kind of like the quip when someone comes out of the bathroom, "Did you get your paperwork taken care of?"

EEEEWWWWWWWWW......is right!
