Seems pretty easy. Good hours, low stress, high pay.

Plus, name one other medical career that lets you wear leather chaps and a gimp mask to work.

Wait... Some people get colonoscopies with local anesthesia? Yikes. I got general. While thing was nbd. Just drinking the gross stuff sucked, but in a first-world-problems kind of way.

Scheduled for July 16th...sigh. Got a month to mentally prepare. I have to be there at 6:30 am...oh my.

6:30 am is a good thing. Get it done early in the day, eat breakfast and take a nap. And you don't have to sit around and think about it all day.

True, but I have to take the final laxative between 11-12 pm. Don't see myself getting much sleep. I might just make it an all nighter.

I've had two of these. Didn't sleep the night before either time.

I am against these. It restricts my freedom and they insert magnets in your butt to track your scat. The term lab leak originally had barium connotations.

I think general, but not sure the difference. It's probably been 20 years since I've had any type of surgery and I'm guessing that's general (completely knocks you out?).Mjl wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 11:07 pmAre you getting general or local anesthesia? If it's the former I wouldn't be too worried about lack of sleep.

You getting this done at a hospital or clinic.
Here the hospital I went to used propofol and I was out just for the duration of the procedure. Then up and around with no lasting effects.
The first time I had it done was at a clinic. They called it conscious sedation. I was out for that but was told that I could respond to commands and questions. GOK what I said. I was wiped out for the rest of the day and took a lot of long naps. Missed a Jayhawks game in the process.
