Unfortunately, it isn’t available anywhere.

Apparently, that isn't as hard as one would hope.

The Colon is a different organ than the prostate.

Did you take the Covid Vax? Just wondering

No kidding. The laxative liquid I had to drink tasted awful. Now they won’t even do colonoscopy on me. The nurse doing my pre-procedure interview told me the do not do colonoscopy after age 80. There is too much chance of perforating the bowel. But because I was in such good shape, they accepted me at age 84 (last year).

I know they are different organs. my neighbor eats total sh%t food.

My MD said I didn’t need a vax. You should have such a great MD. He prescribes almost a dozen nutritional suppleemts for me and one prescription drug. I’m 89 weigh 116. MD he said he’s never seen anyone as healthy as I am at my age. Will live to be 100. Good news for my b%tchy kitty. No one else would put up with her. I love her dearly. .

Thanks for the clarification. Well, under the current rules, my next one will be my last!

One time (of many) I had a colonoscopy, yes I’d had to go through the bowel prep that started at 12:00 noon the day before and lasted until about 6 or 7 that night. And then no food / water after midnight and until after the colonoscopy was over and I awake enough not to, well, barf the orange juice and crackers.

I have reactive hypoglycemia of unknown origin. This particular colonoscopy was set for 11 am. My blood sugar was crashing so bad that I thought I was going to pass out in the waiting room.

Another time it was set for 8:00 am but they got behind in outpatient procedures, and it was nearly 12 before I got called back. Got me in the bed, put the IV in and four minutes later I was tunnel-vision blacking-out passing out. “Help!” I yelled.

They laid me down flat and increased the fluid. Called a cardiologist. My blood pressure apparently had torpedoed.

I’m due for a colonoscopy right now. Not fancying it. I don’t even have a gastro doc right now. He’d be a newb and yes the extra cost of the newb doc / setup 1st appointment. Then the colonoscopy percentage cost with basic Medicare. I’d have to get a loan just to get the 20% the financial clerk would ask for.

I’ll just call and say look, if you’ll do this thing for free—if you really insist I need this, hey I don’t have the money. See if financial assistance will cover it 100%.
Or it just won’t happen.

Or maybe it’s just too darn dangerous to go through anyway. The last one I had, no problem. But I had to come up with $600 **SURPRISE!!** they didn’t even tell me about. That was 10+ years ago.

You had not only Biden, but Bill Clinton who wanted to get in her pants, and George Shultz’s grandson who tried to blow the whistle on her. Schultz, who as on the board, was apparently too smitten to listen and IIRC they fired the grandson. The only SME that had the balls to speak out was a female researcher at Berkeley. All the analysts were apparently too terrified of the PC/DEI bloowback they would get for calling her out. Kudos to the WSJ for finally drawing back the curtain. This story is the biggest single reason I spend the $$ to get the WSJ instead of the local Democrat shill-sheet.
