Speaking of colonoscopies,...when I went for mine today they asked for my ID. Would anyone really

[ohiosmith]

lie about who they are to get one?

1. Maybe people fill in for other people who are too chicken to have it done.

How'd everything go? I had mine Thursday. I can't wait to do it again. That 3 second high before I fell asleep was awesome!

[ohiosmith]

3. They were running a little behind! Nyuk, nyuk! Went really well. I'm a perfect A-hole!

Unfortunately no high and I woke up before the doc was finished.

[graywarrior]

4. With the hose still up your heinie?

I was kinda high for a few hours after. Had to come home and nap. What fun!

[ohiosmith]

7. Yep, facing the video monitor. Still wiped out but if I nap I won't sleep tonight.

8. Yipes, I woke up in the recovery room and a nurse asking me if I wanted a blueberry

muffin.

[ohiosmith]

9. The only muffins there were mine! And they're not blueberry!

[graywarrior]

10. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

You got gypped.

[ohiosmith]

13. What a half assed operation!

[graywarrior]

15. You bet your ass, it was.

[ohiosmith]

17. Cheeky!

[graywarrior]

19. You are "cracking" me up

[ohiosmith]

20. And I'm the butt of your humor!

[graywarrior]

21. Be glad I don't spank your whoopie cakes.

14. The hospital I go to is a teaching hospital, so sometimes there's a fairly large group...

.
.
.
... of observers. The internal echocardiogram I had the other day (the "Deep Throat" insertion
of the wand down my throat after numbing and sedation)? I told them all that I had done it once
before and that since I didn't even drink BEER any more, I took advantage of the sedation part
and FOUGHT to stay awake as long as possible so I could savor the loopiness.
.
I killed that room, I tell ya!!!

18. I just made an ass of myself!

[MiddleFingerMom]

24. I'll tell you what Kali told ME when I said one of my options was a heart replacement valve...

.
.
.
... from an actual pig.
.
.
.
She said to me... and I say to you...
.
.
.
.

.
.
"Oh... that would be SO reduncant!!!

2. Hospitals have increasingly added checks of ids or barcode bracelets at nearly every turn...

not only to avoid the possibility of medication/treatment errors, but also to avoid billing or even identity theft issues.

Good on them for doing so.

5. Sure they'd lie.

Whatever turns you on.

[LynneSin]

6. People would lie if they were using someone else's insurance

Unfortunately that happens in the United States

11. to make sure you're old enough

kids are getting colonoscopies for kicks, it's a serious problem.

[graywarrior]

16. Ahhhh, fond memories of LSD and enema parties

[MiddleFingerMom]

12. 10 bucks and I'll, um... you know... sit in for you if you have to repeat it.

.
.
.
OK, 20 bucks... but I'm not paying you a penny more!!!

22. I dunno, but

I have a solution to the ID problem...

Why don't they laser engrave people's social security numbers and photos in their colons...

That way if you forget or lose your license or ID card, there's your face smiling back at the doctor from inside your rectum...

[undeterred]

23. Its a $5000 procedure

and if somebody were advised to have one because they had symptoms of cancer but no insurance, that might be a reason to try to use somebody else's insurance... Eventually it would catch up with that person, but I'm sure its been tried.
