    "Colonoscopy is the endoscopic examination and the distal part of the small bowel with CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus.  It may provide a visual diagnosis (e.g. ulceration, polyps) and grants the opportunity for biopsy or removal of suspected lesions."....Wikipedia


    People over the age 50 should have this procedure done once every 5 or 10 years to ensure that, in the event of any early detection of cancerous cells or tumors, medical intervention can often times be successful.  Ask you physicians if you should have this procedure done.  It's not cheap if you have no insurance.

    And they drug you up really well, you won't care about a thing. Somebody has to pick you up when it's over 'cause they won't let you take a cab or ride a bus, you are that dinked...
