~Colonoscopies~

A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:
1. "Take it easy Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before!"
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know in Arkansas we're now legally married."
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners Chief?"
7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."
8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!"
10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
11. "You used to be an executive at Enron didn't you?"
12. "God, Now I know why I am not ***."
13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is in fact not up there."
 
Yeah, but I thought they were hillarious :p

:laugh: The guys might not appreciate these much... :D

Isn't that the truth. I was cringing reading the whole thing. :eek:
 
lol I laughed each time I have seen this list and I am a guy... but then I know I have the ability to laugh at myself and if I were in that situation and had the insight to make such a comment I would be laughing later.

I thought most of those were rather funny. I can't remember any of my patients ever saying anything that funny. Most just kinda lay there quietly. Not that I blame them.


What do you do may I ask? Just curious I'm a critical care nurse, but we don't do colonscopies in the unit, bronchoscopies yes--they can't comment during one of those :D

Of course you may ask. I'm a third year medical student at Shands Hospital in Gainesville. I did a few of those procedures while on my surgical rotation and had previously done some around 10-15 flex sigs during a preceptorship last year.
