Men in Black drug.
The first time I felt like a horse dying of whatever it is they eat
and makes them die from exploded guts.
Trapped air according to the doc.
Puked - maybe a drug reaction - and then had severe abdominal pain
for about half an hour - went home when it lessened a bit.
Wasn't over for another half-hour - not until my ass started a tuba
tribute.
Second time was a lot better.

That sounds more like the Sigmiscope (sp) If you remember it, it was a
Sigmiscope. And you don't forget one of those.

No, it was the full Monte each time.
My HMO doc told me he won't even do sigs after he did one on a patient
and the guy died a year later from cancer up higher.
Sends patients to the proc guy for the full scoping.
BTW, a mate at work bugged me to get the scoping when I turned 55.
Apparently the HMO doesn't do that as a preventative.
So when I went in for my yearly physical I told the doc I should be
scoped since I had turned 55.
He asked me "Do you get blood in your stools?"
I said "No."
He asked again "Do you get blood in your stools?"
I said "No."
He asked again "Do you get blood in your stools?"
Well, I might be slow, but the third time was a charm.
I said "Yes."
