Staten Island as this is FDNY and WTC related.
You go where they tell you. The guy who did me is the “plumber” for a lot of us.
Great bedside, same with the anesthesiologist.

That sounds asinine!I'm kind of curious if this colonoscopy thread can grow to be longer than the one-word thread. What would that say about us?
Next scope in 3 years.
There was definitely more laughing with patients at the endo center than anywhere else I've ever worked.
Not true, your guy friends will always appreciate a good fart.
Mix it with iced tea or lemonade. Actually mixing it with different flavors makes it a tad easier to drink it all
Make sure it's cold.
I THINK THE VODKA IS MAKING IT WORSE...
Worse because it's viscous & you have to drink SO much of it (up to 64 oz depending on which one you get)
Day before a colonoscopy is always only clear liquids: tea, juice, ice pops, broth, gatorade, jello. Nothing red or purple because it can look like blood in the colon.
I did that too. Split it amongst two bottles of yellow Gatorade and actually was pretty easy to drink.
Well we know that this is probably the single day where he's not full of it.
Hey, hey... this isn't about me. It's about doing my part for humanity. It's about learning valuable lessons and participating in a diagnostic exercise that could help provide early identification of a potentially serious condition and allow for a better outcome.
The liquid prep is genuinely the nastiest thing I've ever experienced. Also - good note - the vodka is okay in principle but when you get to the... later stages of your prep, you should probably avoid it. Anything that goes in very quickly comes out the other end. Relatively unaltered. This interacts badly with the candles courteously lit in the bathroom.
Same here.
But next time I might do what @MrsScrew suggested and mix it up with different kinds of drinks...ice tea, Gatorade, etc.
Keeping it cold helped a lot too.
I was told to take the 4 pills of Dulcolax first than the whole thing of Miralax mixed in with the liquids.
Wasn't great but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
I can’t believe you all talked me into this. I shall have my vengeance… at the Maryland game… in the portajohns.
It wasn't fun. But I had a nice nap and will admit that it's good knowing that I'm not going to imminently succumb to the *** cancer.
Sadly, it can occur young. Lost a relative where they found it at 28. He only survived a few years and was gone in early thirties.
