  2. I still don't get why fiber optic technology hasn't taken the the place of a two foot stainless steel rod 2 inches in diameter.

    Or imaging technology for that matter.

    My eyes are tearing just thinking about the subject.

  4. Uh Huh.
    Procedure is a piece of cake, but involves a substantial doctor/lab fee, and the worst part is the prep the night before.
    By the time a cancer bleeds, you're in deep doo doo.
    Might as well go with Uhbama's advice and "take a pill". This is "Uhbamacare Cost Control", or "Kill the Old People who Remember the Constitution" who paid into Medicare for 40 years.

    Perhaps Uhbama would rather dip into a turd for fecal occult sample, but I'll take the fiber optic colonoscope, thanks. It's the gold standard.

  7. I used to sell home colostomy kits. They never caught on. Mostly women and they couldn't find shoes to match the bag.

    We've had them here for years also, butt we used the "buddy system". It has been field tested in Sam Fran with simulators, without such great results. Except now they come in a state sponsored "pairs".

  10. Idiocracy: "This one goes in your butt, this one goes in your mouth. No, wait... THIS one goes in your mouth and this one goes in your butt..."
