I beg to differ (and the GI guys are making a ton of money over the difference). Screening used to be hemoccult X3 and if abnormal -> colonoscopy vs barium enema. While it is true that the GI guys tried to push this as standard, it was not considered so - HOC was the standard for screening. In fact, Flex sig was first line endo over full colonoscopy - ask the family practice guys.

Are there folks still using Demerol out there? Old drug, side effects, yuck.
