But did they find that lost TV remote?... inquiring minds want to know!

Chrisreyn

seriously!
The doc told me that almost every guy will ask if they found:
1) car keys
2) his brain
3) the remote
4) critters of some type
5) the lost ark
and 6) his dads boot/shoe
and many claim the doc wont call them/respect them the next morning...

which just proves somethings are universal...

Which proves that us guys are all pretty nervous about some guy messing around back there to the point we all try to brush it off with silly humor

Very similar experience. Poor doc was shocked when I said; "go back a bit. I saw something waving." The monitor was two feet from my face.
Had a transverse esophageal echo cardiogram one time.
Only one nurse understood why when they asked how I felt after the test I said I felt like Linda.

I think someone wrote a book about that. The Night of 1000 Waterfalls.
Hopefully not with the same instrument!

Was 70 here today. Nice and sunny but a strong wind blowing too. Called dad he says "I'll call you later I'm plowing snow".
Had a med student sew my finger shut, couldn't believe I watched it. Told him once he finally listened and numbed the whole finger instead of sticking the needle in the wound I may as well get some entertainment out of it too cause I couldn't feel it. Thought about the gall bladder surgery for a very short time. Have a friend who says he woke up on his back watching some medical show on TV and every time they pulled on an organ he felt something getting tugged on in his gut. They were checking for internal injury from a knife wound, and it was a mirror not a TV.

Got a bunch of barb wire to take down and roll up, some trees to cut, and dirt to move. Probably work all weekend.

Wow. After reading all the comments I didn't realize the procedure was so common. I hope its not something exclusive only to DTR members.

My brother has also had the colonoscopy and endoscopy done at the same time.
He said they do the colonoscopy first so the instrument gets cleaned off during the second part. I hope he was lying.
Just notice NEfrmhnd posted the same fear.

-On a related note. I got a PM from one of our members saying he would shove a camera up my butt for free but we had to use my camera.
-People on DTR are so nice.

I am here! no history and go pro for where you go.......

off to get some pictures of my mom and dad. brother (adopted) took everything, have to beg.....so I guess that fits with today's conversations.

That's because that is NOT an on-ramp, it's an off-ramp. If you look at the camera footage, you'll see the little red signs that say 'Wrong Way-Go Back'!

I wanna know who that is. Probably everyone wants to know, just so we can steer clear of 'em!

Funny. My last time in for this, the guy said OK, you are going to go to sleep. I lay there talking with him while he was doing his thing - - he kept looking at me with these questions in his eye *****. I am starting to feel the stuff working but kept on talking. Finally he said, Hey, you are supposed to go to sleep. I said, OK, OK, you just said I was going to go - - not TO GO. You want me to go to sleep? He said YES. OK, OK, I will - - see ya. And I was gone. Woke up as they were wheeling me out of the room. Fun that way.

FiverBob

I have been up fuzzy one. Been up since 5. Just busy. Finally had breaky and came to see if someone had made ph00 - - - HURRAAAAAA - - you did. Good man. Grabbing mine and go do something creative. Thanks.

I was having torn cartilage removed from my right wrist and woke up during the middle of the productre and said "so that's what the inside of my wrist looks like"

The doc said yes it is we will be done in a few mintiues and point at the anasthilist and nodded downward within a couple seconds I was out

When I was getting a couple of fingers repaired that I sort of knocked off with a radial arm saw, the surgeon kept having to send someone down to the pharmacy for this or that button or suture or whatever. I started to make snide remarks about it. Next thing I knew, surgery was over and the anesthesiologist said, "you had a pretty nice nap."

When I got the bill, there was some medicine on it that I didn't recognize, so I asked my GP about it. He said, "This one was to counter failing blood pressure, this one was to get your heart beating, this one was to directly counter the anesthetic, and this one was to help get your blood ph back to normal after all the other stuff." Long story short, they almost killed me to shut me up.

I don't like doctors, hopspitals, drugs, or any other interference with life.
