What are some of the funniest colonoscopy stories you've heard?

Answer 1

I know a story where a patient was so chatty during the pre - colonoscopy consultation that he told the doctor all sorts of wild stories about his diet and bowel movements, thinking it would make the procedure more interesting. And during the colonoscopy, a different patient started singing softly in his sleep under the anesthesia, which was quite hilarious for the staff. There was also a patient who, after the colonoscopy, demanded a 'colonoscopy souvenir' like a picture of his colon with a funny caption.

Answer 2

One of the funniest colonoscopy stories is about a man who thought the colonoscopy was like a video game where the doctor was the 'player' and his colon was the 'level'. He was giving the doctor all sorts of 'tips' on how to navigate through his colon. Another patient was so nervous that he accidentally called the colonoscopy device a 'colon - o - scope' and made everyone in the room laugh. And there was a patient who, when told about the preparation for the colonoscopy, said he thought he was training for a 'colonoscopy Olympics' with all the fasting and cleansing.

Answer 3

A patient once told the medical staff before the colonoscopy that he was more worried about his colonoscopy 'look' than the actual procedure. He was joking about how his colon might be presented in pictures. Another patient woke up and immediately asked if his colon was now 'colonoscopy - proof'.
