I hope so. They use the same equipment for endoscopy

I feel your pain, had top done once and bottom 3 times.

Top is the worst because of the gagging reflex, 2nd is the picolax prep which I imagine is similar to drinking bleach with a hint of orange, gastric Armageddon.

Having a tube popped up your bum isn't that bad in comparison.

Never had the top done, but had many colonoscopies - I like watching it on tele while they're doing it.
last time i had one they couldn't get it to go round a bend and kept leaning on me and trying to ram it round - I was rather poorly after that one
Am due another before the end of the year - yes its rather unpleasant, but at least if they find any pre-cancerous cells, they can do sommat about it sharpish

Maybe I should have posted this in the penal reform thread.
Its for Zeity anyway

This is the story of EO's fright
When he checked in the mirror one fateful night
As he looked down in a state of shock
And discovered he was looking at a corkscrew c0ck

So he grabbed his missus
but boinged out the bed
Cos mrs EO is a left hand thread

Transfer of infections via the endoscope is no joke.

They used to be reluctant to sterilise endoscopes too harshly between patients.

Then they discovered helicobacter pylori.

I had a doctor who strongly recommended getting the first appointment of the day, if you needed an endoscopy.
