u on maui? or what country?100% better today.
Haven't had a solid meal since last Tuesday though.... and @ 1'75" and 70 kilos (with 25% fat in summer/18% in winter) it's becoming a chore to get my stomach to accept food again.
Have had digestive issues since I was kid, genetricks.
Thank you both for caring @bonzer5fin and @Subway !!!
We have to get the three of us together out here this fall/winter season somehow.
Start finding a week or two that coincide for you both. Lodgings on me, surfboars too.
I highly encourage you to take advantage of my offer, because after what I saw yesterday at the ER and the two private hospitals here on the island, our days are numbered here.
Duuue in the space next to mine was vomiting brown blood like a fire hose, and they just let the poor bastard heave like they could give a rats arse about him.... hope the poor kid made it, because it was NOT looking good from where I was laying for him.

colonoscopy blues
- Thread starter bonzer5fin
- Start date
First off I not glad this happened to you! What is the deal with medical care in Canary's? Spain just send their worst Drs there?
WTF happened in that ER, and why an ER, because...Canary Islands?
Please don't say you'll never have another, just don't have one by THAT guy in THAT place.
Another pro tip: when you're that cleaned out already due to a good diet and efficient gastrointestinal system, don't drink all the kool-aid--you'll know when it's enough.
Then again, I'm gonna ask about PPK's pill-style colonoscopy, Fantastic Voyage style.
just got my second sh!t stick kit in the mail. So far have avoided the anal flushing. Wish me luck.
Should I send a sample today when I'm really hung over? That will surely skew teh results?

It's a long story, basically the best doctors are in the largest population centers, which this island is not.
The older we get, the more inevitable our departure from island life in Spain becomes.
Though, who ever knows what the future holds in store.

I have to say, the thread title is not one that leads me to want to click on it and read. My experiences with the procedure have been routine. I learned to sip some 7up right after guzzling the laxative to ease the nausea but other than that it’s been an uneventful event.
Then I read your story. Ouch! That sounds crazy. I’m sorry you had to go through that and hope you feel better.
I have a wild next door neighbor. She’s kind of an old hippy, was a nurse. She voluntarily does her colonoscopy with no anesthesia. Says it’s no big deal.
No you don't, seen it, not a good way to go
once upon a time it was my job to collect a turd sample from my 80 something dad
so i was hanging out with him waitin for him to take a shet. when the time came, i reminded him not to flush.
5 minutes later, flush. no turd remnants. normally thats a good thing, but not that day. so i hang around another few hours and its time to sh!t again. i remind him not to flush. "i know, i know" he said, annoyed at me. 5 minutes and i hear a flush. same story on repeat. later that day i did manage to get a sample he didnt flush. i raced it over to the lab. they were just locking the door, nurse was shaking her head at me, as i asked what to do with the sample. btw theres a limit how old the turd can be, so i couldnt use that sample the next day.
i have many sh!t stories about my dads last years. he once shat himself in the elevator on the way to a docs apt.
things were pretty bad for him cuz the docs had never had him scoped til it was too late "he wont survive the surgery". also his prostate got so big he couldnt ****. had to get "eurolift", after months of catheter bag and changes every 2 weeks. get checked early on this stuff.
reminds me of another story. sometimes his catheter bag would rip. we started getting extras after the incident where i called his doc and asked if i could get a new catheter bag, they said come right in. nurse told me to come in the back room and sit on the table.... the story would be better if i hadnt told her i just need the bag for my dad. she was about to fit one on/in me. in case u dont know, theres a tube they put up your pee hole all the way to your bladder.

My uncle got colon cancer and he spent the last 10 years of his life eating oatmeal and shitting into an ostomy bag on his hip. His QOL was not high.

I got Propofol, woke up half way thru, got even more Propofol, woke up again at the end... butt, it wasn't quite over yet. If you know what I mean?
Then I got Nolotil, and Biscapina. Also, got Ketorolaco.Guess what?
Recreational injected drug use as a teenager put all that crap to shame.
As I left, I informed them they know nothing about sedation.... aside from being a group of fooking sadists of the worst kind... and I've met a few in my time.
holy sh*t, what an awful experienceI got Propofol, woke up half way thru, got even more Propofol, woke up again at the end... butt, it wasn't quite over yet. If you know what I mean?

So did you do damage when you yanked all that stuff out?
Luckily no... but that was the reason for the trips to the E.R.s they were certain I'd perforated my long intestine, turns out some of the gas they fill you up with created a diverticulum in one of the folds. Apparently the pain and symptoms were very similar to peritonitis, which could result in sepsis and death.
All in all, it was a very traumatic experience, and will take some time to get over... here it is Tuesday already and (shouldn't share "this" 'here', butt who gives a rats arse...
here goes, have fun with it bois) I feel like I had a couple of Freight Trains collide in my anus.
My G.P. today in utter shock as she read the reports, suggested I file a complaint with the medical board.... kind of like the start of a malpractice procedure... against the place. It is not like any Dr to suggest that about another, unless it's a pretty glaring example of not following protocol correctly. She said there's only 2 reasons for anesthesia, 1-) to put you out cold for the duration of the procedure, or longer. And 2-) to ensure you NOT remember what was done to you. She said, think of it like the perfect date rape drug... you can literally do anything without the patient feeling a thing, or remembering what happened to them. This last part she stressed, is VERY IMPORTANT, as it ensures no emotional trauma from surgeries.
I both woke up twice, one in the middle and again at the end; and what's worse is I still remember and am frankly having a tough time forgetting.
Well, at least I'm not a Virgin anymore.
I just want to put this all "behind me" now and fugget about it.
My wife's mom's husband (not her stepdad. anyway..) was just diagnosed with Prostate cancer.
He didn't want to get scoped. Now he has to.
