My Sadie (now a retired RN) once was a gastroenterologist’s office nurse, and she tells of the time (late morning) she was called into the Surgery Center by her Doc to see, on the monitor, a tapeworm inside the patient’s gut. She was neither amused – nor hungry for lunch, come to that.
If you’ve never read Dave Barry’s article he wrote in 2008 about his colonoscopy, you’ve missed one of his best humor articles. If you’ve had a colonoscopy, you’ll appreciate his prep description. Just google Dave Barry colonoscopy.
I don’t see what the big deal is with his picture. I always have the doc print out pictures of my innards or broken bones. I have pictures of both new knees in my folder as well. I like to see what’s going on in there.
With everyone posting pictures of their plates of food this would seem a natural next step. Well I suppose a picture of the toilet contents with a “Look what I had for dinner last night” would be the next step.
My gastroenterologist gave me two photos after my colonoscopy. Neither one is of my “good” side. ;-) Can’t tell whose colon they are pictures of. He said it was mine. However, they are not gross or anything to faint over, unless you are scared of tunnels.
I don’t even show those pictures to my wife. She’s happy enough to hear that the procedure went well and no problems were found — she doesn’t need illustrations.

She was floored by his presentation! He’ll want to repeat it over and over! - The presentation, not the colonoscopy.

You just can’t please some people. Myself, I’m trying to figure out how to use a picture from my colonoscopy as my photo ID!
