LOL
Ours sends out a printed leaflet beforehand; but on arrival you're
assigned to a "dedicated nurse" who goes through it all again (before and
after). Thank god for socialised medicine...

Hey, you'd be missing the best bit, which is the rush as it goes in.

That's one of the many reasons I'm glad I live in Canada.
I've had 13 colonoscopies over the last 36 years.
Total cost for the first three: $0.00
For the next ten, because of hospital cutbacks, they no longer
provided the prep solution so that ranged anywhere from $5.00 to
$14.00 each procedure.

That's great... The Govt pays for cookie cutter procedures, but what
happens after they find something serious in there? That's where the two
systems separate..

Dulcolax pills and quite a bit of
Miralax dissolved in Gatorade. It wasn't all that much fun,
and oh, full of surprises, too.They found nothing wrong, no
polyps, no nothing. After the test I was just groggy from being asleep.
The
only pain afterwords was the co pays for the procedure. I went in for a
celiac biopsy test and they found nothing wrong.I felt no ill effects
the day after for either
one of my 2 procedures and stopped on the way home afterwards for large
breakfasts both times. The anesthesia was quite mild and I felt no pain.
I
was conscious both times and actually found it quite interesting to
watch my
intestines being probed on my own monitor. The drugs administered were
quite
pleasant. The only gas problems were expelling some of the gas they
introduced into me to inflate my abdomen to help with the procedure but
I
did what was suggested and let her rip with no significant unpleasant
side
effects.

In my case it's been once so far. Ditto most of that. The day of
preparation was by far the worst of it.
My wife reports that in the recovery room I babbled. I have no memory
of that. I remember waking up.
I was pretty hungry by the end of the day as the grogginess wore off.
No surprise and no big deal.

My Dad had that issue when he had gall bladder surgery recently. My
brother looked at him and went to ask for a pain shot. They asked Dad
his pain number. Five. No big deal. My brother told them he reported
a four before going in for heart surgery and that it would probably take
a bear eating his arm without removing it first to get a six. They gave
Dad the shot.

I got sedated for a root canal. I had been through one a few years
earlier and it was very uncomfortable, gagging and choking on the dental
dam. When I got sedated the procedure was a breeze. I was half out of
it when the endontist came in and started working. At one point I felt a
bit of pain, but I didn't care. Next thing I knew, she was finishing up.
It felt like 5 minutes but I was in there for an hour and a half.

Well, having had many colonoscopies (my last one was my thirteenth), I
have to say the prep is definitely the worst part. Over the years I've
been given three different clean out routines and the worst is having
to drink 2 gallons of that slimy glycol based Liquid Plumber stuff.
Here's a little bit of related humour. I think it was on about my
fifth or sixth procedure that I ran into an old school friend in
surgical daycare. I asked him why he was there and he told me he was
having some stomach trouble so they were going to stick some scope
down his throat and have a look. I told him I was there for a scoping
as well but they would be putting the scope in from the other end.
His reply, 'Jeez, I hope they do me first!'

asking him to rate his pain has nothing to do with whether he'll get the
pain med or not. It has to do with monitoring the effectiveness of the
pain med he is given (after they get a baseline reported "score")and
hopefully the score will decrease as he is made more comfortable.
