I feel I am the only person here who is not ill. Not physically, anyway.

Colons or semi colons or summat...I dunno. ::)
I always thought they were something to do with your bowels or other fiddly slimey inner bits and giblets tbh. sick2:


Sorry, I wasn't having a go or anything Growler.

BTW I'm due for a Colonoscopsy week after next. Oh what fun!

Oooh! I 'ad one of them. Not painful but not pleasant. If they offer valium say yes please! I said no 'cos I was driving. The chap next to me slept all through the procedure and then some.
I then made the same mistake when I had an endoscopy. Some people never learn!
Now I say yes please to anything they offer.

Today I have to go to Cardiology to have my ICD downloaded. That'll be fun  noooo:

Next Friday diabetes clinic .... more f*cking needles and like Wench I have "difficult" veins.

Why won't they listen when I say that the left arm is better for blood taking?  sad24: Why do they insist on poking about in my right arm only to give up after 15 mins and say well let's try the left shall we.  sad24:

Perhaps the right arm is nearer to your colon, so they wont have to poke so far?

As far as the Endoscopy is concerned, maybe your left arm is nearer your Endo.

No doubt Snoopy can advise.

I know dear I know..... One Nurse took 17 attempts until she agreed to call in a doctor ~ who did it in one!
They just will not listen. I have blood tests every three months and have done for ten years. You would think they'd accept that I know which vein will give and which won't but OH NO! Nursey Knows Best!  evil:
Now I say take it from here and point to the vein on the back of my right hand. If they try anything else I get up and walk. It's my bl**dy body for God's sake ~ I don't care how many lectures she's been to!

Last year I had someone poke around so much that they bruised me from elbow to knuckles and when they did eventually manage to draw it they couldn't get it to bloody stop!

Endoscopy = pushing a tube down your gullet.
Colonoscopy = pushing a tube up yer arse.
NEXT!

And why do they always say "Just a little scratch"?
Surely "Just a little/big prick" would be a better description.

The left arm is closest to the heart and I suspect given the litigous culture we live in there isnt a health professional that would take that kind of chance.

Just make sure your doctor remembers the difference...

Endoscopy is the general term for pushing a tube with camera and a light from either direction. A gastroscopy is the term for an exploration down the gullet.

I shoud know as I've had both, a 'top and tail' they called it. First one end then they turn you round and do the other end. I assume they give the tube a wipe down between.  eeek:

I was trying to keep it simple for the faint/light hearted among us.
I too have had both .... do you really want to know what they found.  noooo:
