What? You mean you had a colonoscopy without being knocked out first? Oh, dear Lord, that only happened to me once, while I was in Korea. I begged for them to stop and the pain was so severe that I simply passed out.

Here in BC, colonoscopies are performed with anesthetic, thank God. I have to have one every four years and I don't think I have ever had a complete one as my doctor always says that he 'can't get up there, it is too hard on you.'
