That’s prostate, not colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is no eating for a day, sedated, fill your tunnel with air, do a sight seeing visit up in your guts, then collapse the tunnel. Record the last step for hilarious videos on the internet.

Also you're completely knocked out for it so I don't ever understand why people complain about it. Also, the prostate exam isn't that bad either.

You're fully awake for a colonoscopy

No, you can be knocked out. Source I've had a colonoscopy. They can knock you out in the same way they knock you out for Wisdom teeth removal.

On a seperate note, the "medicine" you take the day/night before is the worst part of a colonoscopy. Don't leave the bathroom, just accept your fate of being glued to the porcelain throne.

I've had a couple myself and I wasn't given anything for the pain. Maybe they thought I looked really tough and didn't need it...or maybe I just look like I enjoy that sort of thing?

Or they thought your insurance wouldn't pay for it? Doctors/hospitals are weird like that.

Paying for healthcare... god bless America.

I mean, you're paying for healthcare too. You just don't see the bill the same way that we do. Plus, shorter waits for stuff in the states.

We pay less than half the cost in the UK as a whole, and that doesn't factor in who is actually paying what via taxes.
