Biggest nothing ever.
Haha I agree. The last time I had a colonoscopy the prep was this horrible concoction resembling lemon juice and the floor cleaner used in public bathrooms. The last round before I headed into the shop I tossed in some vodka (clear liquid) for good measure. My first proceedure years earlier they used stronger sedatives. Wife had to drive me home that time. It was the most wonderful day, she made me a plate of breakfast and I had most peaceful nap ever. Now they use a sedative that blacks you out for 1 hr and you are totally clear and can go to work after. I prefer the older stuff.

Back on topic, I don't really have any claustrophobia tendencies so MRI (head or feet first) are easy for me. However 20 years ago I took a fall on my head resulting in a halo skull fracture and seizure. They put me into tube that made horrible banging noises to inspect my skull which resulted in a headache that lasted a week and could not eat for days.

Bt Im al bter kno.
