Doctor: “We’re going to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy.”
Me: “Oh, a spit roast!”
Doctor: “. . . Please don’t call it that.”
Stage 2 colon cancer folks! Get checked!

Colonoscopy and gastroscopy make a spit roast, endoscopy is a term that covers procedures using an endoscope in general.
I know this because I tried to make a similar joke many moons ago to a family member who was working in endoscopy at the time, now I get to pass on the pedantry!
