    I’m not sure whether or not this was supposed to be a joke post, but I recently had a colonoscopy, and everyone was super nice and fully aware that this was an embarrassing procedure, so they did their best to make it as pleasant as you can be in a surgical waiting area.

      I work in Radiology, and have to do Barium enemas, frequently. As much as we love the humor, we strive to keep it medical, with patients. We all know it sucks, can feel embarrassing, etc, but we’re just trying to get the job done with the best pictures. Your physical body is kind of secondary to what our goal is.

      It was both a joke and my real life. I hope I have a similar experience. I’m a virgin after all… for this anyway.

      Alternatively.

    Stick a lightbulb in your butt. There’s a good episode of scrubs they can watch if they don’t know how to get it out.
