Colonoscopy

[Jolly]

Listen my children and you shall hear,
The famous toot from Klaus' rear...

[Mik]

You mean the kazoo, right?

[Jolly]

He plays the kazoo from there? 🤮

[Mik]

The kazoo out the wazoo.

Look, the guy needs a laugh. Srsly.

[Klaus]

That's really the worst drink I ever had to drink.

Reminds me of the scene in Harry Potter when Dumbledore drinks the Potion of Despair.

[bachophile]

comes out the other end more or less the same taste

[Jolly]

Thumbs up is appropriate...

[Klaus]

It was good I was there

They found two polyps. According to the doc, the likelihood of them developing into cancer with the next 10-20 would have been 50%>

Preventing colon cancer is all about doing stuff early. You did the right thing.

Now, you get to ride the black snake a little more often, until you're an old geezer.

But that beats the alternative.

[George K]

Most recent guidelines are to skip colonoscopy if you’re >75 years.

Unless you have a history of polyps or other risk factors. . Then continue.

Got to wonder, though...Older you get, the higher the chances of a perforation.

One of the surgeons I worked with was deathly afraid of getting colon cancer. He was about 40 years old when he had his first colonoscopy.

Yup he perfed.
