I have to wonder, though: What sort of person becomes a butt doctor? I’ve met thousands of people in my lifetime and never once has anyone told me their life’s dream is to be a Rear Admiral. I can understand the desire to be a brain surgeon or somebody that can restore eye sight; I can’t imagine wanting to be up in somebody’s business.
The thing that scares me is– if they go far enough into the colon, through the stomach and past the esophagus– they might eventually find my head. Oh oh.
YouTube video of Katie Couric’s colonoscopy.
Dr. Kylie Johnson’s MADtv colonoscopy. “Alright, Robin, to the batcave!”
“Roll up the windows, kids, we’re going to pass a farm!”
Will they boldly go where no man has gone before?
Sorry, that was inappropriate.
Seriously, it wasn’t that bad. At least I don’t think so because I was drugged.
XO
First of all, LOL at the Astrid license plate.
Secondly, thanks for drawing attention to this in a humorous way, Sera. I believe colon cancer ranks #3 in all cancers in the USA/world. People need to pay attention.
And thirdly, bravo to Katie Couric for allowing her check-up to be on YouTube.
But you’re right: what kind of doctor decides for that to be his/her specialty?!?
oh gosh that mad tv skit was hilarious!!!! just what i needed first thing in the morning lol i know it’s only 2 am, but i just got up
next time he asks you where you lost your keys you can answer ‘in the great unknown’ hehe wouldn’t it be scary if the ones who decided to become butt doctors were ones with FETISHES? ugh, oh no i didn’t
Don’t do it, unless there is blood in your stools, or else you could cause severe damage to the tract and cause possible diseases all for nothing, prevention, my ass, literally….
You made me laugh!!! Having just had my first ‘procedure’ – I wondered exactly the same thing. What kind of a doctor actually chooses to do this?!?!?
wow…I checked the video, she’ll didn’t look in any pain, that’s a comfort, but I’d insist being drugged up the wahoo…love, me lol
Think of it as a birthday gift from your doctor : )
Happy 40th birthday ! now turn on your side and pull your knees towards your chest…
As someone who spent several years working for the country’s first female gastroenterologist (who had no sense of smell) my only remark on this matter is that the worst part of the procedure is the preparation. If you choose to go ahead make very sure you have continual access to a private bathroom before you drink the gallon jug of Golytely (a serious misnomer).
40 is just the beginning of all the fun preventive medical practitioners have in store for you.
funny you should say that, i’ve been writing songs with a friend, he’s an electronic musician, would be impossible to do any unplugged version of dat lol
Some doctor up to her or his elbows in sh!t.
One up the bum
No harm done
you are lucky it’s a career for some
A few years ago I had the same test, I thought it was very interesting that I was able to look at the inside of myself, at one point though, I wanted to ask, ‘are you sure you don’t do a brain check-up too in the same time, for there is nothing to look for up there……’ but then, you never know if they have that kind of humour.
Grouser is right, we are lucky somebody wants to check out the ‘black hole’…
Thank you for the Astrid license plate, that is wonderful.
Oh my lord, I laughed so hard. I understand it is serious business and all that, but the way you put it, marvelous. I am in need of a doctor also, who is not greedy and misinformed. I need to find the elevation which puts me a spite above average. I believe then I can survive. But there is not really a doctor for that, is it?
Relax, all your “inners” are fine, I would have noticed otherwise even though I am thousands miles away. Trust me,all is good. It is the worries and the stress that will kill you foremost. I am not kidding, it is a fact.
Well, that was not a such pleasant reply message, was it – I am sorry. Actually I am not, because there is no much time to fool around anymore. We have to be direct and open from now on, doesn´t matter if it it feels odd or stray.
Of course I care about your guts Sera, as a matter of fact, I care a bit more about you just being a whole entity (life-form) . So do your thing what you need to do, then report back. But I can assure you, everything is fine.
ahh humour can take you almost anywhere! of course one should always draw a line in the sand! I think your comments and observations are both fair and reasonable and i definately think that you should hold these butt doctors to account!
cheers Suzanne:))
One of my uncles turned 60 recently and he complained that he got a bunch of remainder letters from doctor and health care professional, to have his eyes checked, a prostate check and so on. Happy birthday from the French health care system!
We found it funny because these days, 60 is young…!
“We’re at the 6 feet mark now Katie…”
elle est chouette cette voiture toute bariolée !
yes bright pink ears should be a clue lol i love watching kitteh come toward me down the dark hallway into the light, her eyes glow and she slowly takes shape and looks like a panther hunting me lol then she purrs
haha, Astrid on the license plate, funny! I had my first colonoscopy a few months ago, and was lucky enough to find out I don’t need one again for another 10 years. The experience wasn’t bad since I was under anesthesia during the procedure and don’t remember anything about it. Nevertheless I am happy it’s not happening again for another 10 years.
Not just butt doctors… What sort of person becomes a pussy doctor?
so it’s a fail then? lol do you watch cute win fail on youtube? i think toby turner is so cute
how are you? how’s your butt? here i’ll sing it a little song http://www.karaokeplay.com/recordings/luka-5922606.html
Maybe it’s a woman thing, but my doctor told me I didn’t need to worry about a colonoscopy until I was 50.
not great having the procedure from the other end either… at least you don’t have to try to breathe through your butt. though our bodies start to betray us, in almost every other way, getting older is pretty great so far. my dad tells me it sucks after 90, but he’s a grumpy old man.
lol.. the things going on in your noggin make me smile..
i bet they have huge salaries though, or maybe not.. ;D
oh yeah,my voice is unique alright hahaha uniquely REALLY BAD
i USED to be able to sing that’s why i can carry the remnants of a tune, but my voice is gone, so what did you think of the song on my page? annoying yes? shall i take it down for you? 
thank you for the cat feet poem, you are always ready with the perfect thing to say! it’s astounding!….. time is fleeting, madness takes it’s toll, but listen closely (not for very much longer) cheers my dear, remember? doing the time warp?
hehe that wasn’t a screw driver!! the photo is scarier than you thought
i’m glad you like the music, i’ve got a 50/50 split on it, 2 dislikes, 2 likes… but the dislikers are more vocal, they argue with me to take it down, when i want it up, or i wouldn’t have put it there, duh lol…
it was voting day in canada and for the first time we didn’t vote, coz hubby thinks they are ALL criminals and our vote would have been wasted anyway… so we didn’t go… besides where we live we are being colonized and all the candidates were hindu or the ones with the turbans, i can’t spell it… my hubby is being harrassed by the police in our area and they are known to be the most dangerous, killing people with tazers and such, this country is going to hell in a hand basket
on a lighter note, sorry for my weird rant last night, you were mentioning having to convert songs from itunes… i found a site called tradebit.com where you can buy mp3s for the same price, just FYI
Butt doctors have a high rate of success compared to other areas of medicine leading to dramatically improving health outcomes.
I don’t think they give fig about the location of their rear guard actions but can become enthusiastic about improved outcomes-but it’s good to raise awareness humouresly or othewewise about this !.
Over here you would not have colonoscopy without a simple pre screening sample (checking for blood) to justify this procedure. To improve public heath ourcomes most people were mailed the pre screening kit. The benefits so far for early detection having resulted in dramatically improved overall health outcomes. Best wishes
I just turned 40 as well. It’s depressing. In addition to all the other issues we have to face when we turn 40, we also have to face that? Argh.
LOL!!! But thank God for them, the do have their uses! Great post Sera! Good to see you are well:)
Weirdly, I just had a camera stuck down my throat today for a gastroscopy. It wasn’t so bad.
Oh I’ve missed you and your work. Sucked into a busy life and Facebook and Twitter ahead of blogging…I lose so much. Thanks for this one – I love it. My colonoscopy a couple of years ago was fun – lots of Demerol and heated blankets made up for the psychedelic video I believe I watched…
Most likely the kind of folks who got bad grades in medical school. I think I’m just going to get a motorcycle when I turn 40, that way I won’t need to worry about getting old.
