I can only imagine how uncomfortable an exam must be, so I would assume they would use lubrication to make it more bearable.

      Drugs don’t work on me anymore (genetic hyper metabolizer of most drugs). I just watch on the monitor. It’s pretty interesting once you get over having a tube wiggled around your colon.

      I have had 15-20 over the past 15 years. The worst part is the prep. 🤮

        I used to work in a pharmacy, and one of the techs I worked with would always joke, to be fair, she was a real good tech, but she would say “hope everything comes out okay!” As they walked away with their giant jug of prep.

        She was a queen

      I have been knocked out each time. No discomfort after so it must have gone smoothly each time.
