Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 28, 2023

The near equivalent in our medical practice is actually getting less horrible. That doesn’t mean it’s not horrible at all, but definitely less.

You know, this is the third millennium. There’s got to be a better way.

The prep is always worse than the probing, anyone who has undergone a colonoscopy knows this.

Well, that’s a relief.

Earthlings, always with the probing questions!

I knew a man whose first colonoscopy was without anesthetic. He said it was very unpleasant.

A proctologist once said prior to doing a digital rectal exam, “Believe me. I like this about as much as you do”.

After my first colonoscopy showed nothing I went with the yearly sample test. Sometimes it has seemed like too much but upon comparison it’s no big deal.

Hahahaha!

I sure he feels much more comforted now.

My doctor wanted a second opinion, so he used two fingers.

And Root Canals.

LOL!!!

Yes, E.T.’s rather unpleasant.

They worry because they’re in a spaceship and not in a hospital bed…..

One of my many colonoscopies was performed on 31 October. I asked the doctor if his assistants were born in other countries. When he answered yes, I said, “Great. Now I can tell my friends that I was taken by aliens and subjected to an anal probe on Halloween.”

He didn’t seem amused.

Mix this in a gallon of water and drink it.

I know someone who would love to have foreplay and probing…

Not a very consoling statement…..

One would have hoped that aliens from the planet Procto would have found a better way to prep.

The potty is in the corner. Make sure you turn on the gravity.
