Having had a section of colon removed because of a burst diverticuli, then a "just Xrays" barium enema between two major surgeries in one summer some years ago? I'll choose death over having another tube rammed up my ass! The medical community lies through their teeth about procedures, before AND after them. Death is possibly easier than that one barium enema, described to me as "just an Xray" I had only a few inches of colon left, and it hurt like hell. The Xray tech was a freakin' sadist! I thought about telling, but didn't, tell his wife when I bumped into him in a bar in another town with a woman not his wife. That's just small town gossip krap. All this said? My daughter is an RN...one of her previous jobs was to administer the joy juice drugs before a colonoscopy. It's quite a mix of juice...some kill the pain. Others make you forget everything that happened. That's why everybody who has had one says it's a breeze.
