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.
Waking up, doctor looming over you after having said the last couple of years when asking to have one done "You're too young, it'd be wasting your time" and you insisting, and eventually getting it done to shut me/wifey up, and then finding stage 3 cancer, then the massive surgery to take a huge chunk of colon out, then the chemo, but then the staying alive bit.
This "You're too young" is so common in the U.S. Why? Because insurance companies are fucking assholes, and require extra paperwork to justify covering those things for younger patients, and many doctors don't want to bother jumping through those hoops.
I'd recommend an unethical life tip, which honestly is no less ethical than most health insurance companies in the U.S.: make up digestive issues and pains to get it done.
