Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 What patients say during Colonoscopies Colonoscopies are no joke , but these comments during the exam were quite humorous..... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies: 1. Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before! 2. F ind Amelia Earhart yet? 3. Can you hear me NOW? 4. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? 5. You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married. 6. Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief? 7. You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out... 8. Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels! 9. If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit! 10. Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity. 11. You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you? 12. God, now I know why I am not gay. And the best one of all... 13. Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 > 12. God, now I know why I am not gay. While I realize that we need to add some levity to our situation since it's too easy to feel down when you either have or know someone who has PSC, if the above statement had the following substitution: " now I know why I am not (fill in racial minority here), " most of us would be quite offended. As someone who does happen to be gay as well as have UC and PSC, I cannot leave this one alone. I agree there is nothing exciting about a colonoscopy (least of all the prep). However, given that this is also a support forum, and because we may never see the people we are writing to or about, I think we need to be sensitive to what it is that we post whether OT, TGIF or in the main discussion.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 , I apologize, it was a forward someone sent me and it is rare that they include something that is timely for this group. I am truly sorry. Please accept my apologies. Re: OT-TGIF Colonoscopy humor > 12. God, now I know why I am not gay.
