"Yet, Dr. Barclay added, “if our group is representative of an average group, you will see people who take 2 or 3 minutes and people who take 20 minutes” to examine a colon."





I refused the drugs, and I'm pretty sure they were in there for hours,at least it seemed that way.

Still, the experts say, the onus remains on patients to ask for data on how proficient their doctors are.

This slays me. "First, we kill all the gastroenterologists."

Well, this is built on the unspoken assumption that one derriere is as good [or as big] as another. But it is a matter of common knowledge that some are really big derrieres while the others are much smaller. Now, the same logic ought to apply to colons.

Oh, by the way -- I should have mentioned...

Here in the San Francisco Bay area - Males need to keep a sharp eye on the Doctor and staff whenever we have our ass or family jewels exposed..

Most especially if you're expecting something to be "inserted".

</humor> but not much.

Well this is going to depress Dad!

He used to get me to drop him off and pick him up after one of these "procedures"...

For him to retain and maintain his flight status...NASA made him get these once a year...

Somebody must be rolling around now that the joke is out...;-)
