Has anyone been to a colonoscopy party?

Posted 03.30.2004 by Dave
According to Yahoo, they're all the rage. Well, at least in Texas. I know the Detroit-area PoopReporters discussed a get-together once or twice... maybe you should organize one of these?
======================

"Colonoscopies allow doctors to see inside the colon and rectum to detect polyps by using a flexible hollow tube with a camera chip on the end. Patients must ingest a liquid laxative to clean the colon before the procedure. Patients are then given a mild sedative so they are not awake during the screening.

"During the party, Thompson and a group of volunteers — attendees from previous parties — visit with the patients to ease last minute jitters.

"The outpatient surgery room is decorated with blue and white ribbons and signs that read, 'I'm proud to be a party pooper' and 'Don't neglect early detect.'

"As patients are rolled to the surgery room, everyone cheers and claps.

"'Yeah, go Cheryl,' they shout as 45-year-old Cheryl Lawson a registered nurse makes her way to see Dr. Brian Cooley, the gastrointestinal specialist who performs the procedures for Thompson's parties. Thompson snaps pictures and hands out silly awards, such as 'the worst prep' and 'the hardest to convince.'"

I've had a colonoscopy before, it was an absolute nightmare, I can't imagine freaks actually making a party out of it.

My father just had one. They gave him drugs so he was semi-conscious. When he came out of it he really wasn't in the mood for parties. He just wanted to fart in privacy. They pump air up your poopchute to make the colon easier to access and see, but the "downside" of it is you have to get rid of all that air.

Imagine having a bunch of idiots around clapping and stomping the beat to your farts? I guess if you're still under the drugs, it might be amusing.

I've had 2 colonoscopies. While neither one was cause for a party, I didn't find the procedure to be as unpleasant as what is loosely called "The Prep".

The drugs were cool during the actual procedure. I don't remember a lot about the whole thing.

Never gonna happen, and I'm not going to say why. That's WAAAAYYY to personal. However, the farting part sounds like fun. It beats having to save them up to rattle a door.

Well, I'd go if all people were required to light up their farts.
Also, I'm not going unless EVERYBODY has to have an ass cam.

Dr. Cooley? Are you serious. It figures a butt doctor is named Cooley.
