  I was paranoid once in my early twenties so I asked a doctor to check my bum for cancer (I didn’t know much about it at the time other than that it’s a thing that people do and apparently it’s nothing to be ashamed of, but I was also a bit of a hypochondriac).

  Well she probably thought I was too young for that and just being a weirdo, cause she made it HURT as badly as she could, and I’ve had a thing about avoiding doctors ever since.

    one more example of “useless tests are bad”. unfortunately there are no statistics for this kind of harm. see my other comment

  Everyone should get a colonoscopy whenever it’s offered adorably. You’ll feel weightless after all the colon blow, you get a great nap out of the deal, and the epic farts after feel so amazingly satisfying. As an added minor bonus, it’s good preventative care.

      “Affordability” has gotten so bad in the United States healthcare that autocorrect won’t even let us use it in the same sentence as any procedures!

      Some of my laughter from your comment is embarrassment, but it’s mostly because that’s a fucking hilarious thing to imagine the one proctologist I know saying that.

  Also important note that colon cancer has been increasing in people much younger than 45 as well. Get checked peeps.
