The only think I would have liked to have seen added was a disclosure by the two women at the end of the segment as to what their health and lifestyle were like prior to having their cancers found out. That just might have had a teeny-weeny chance of getting through to those that think they're not at risk or still fear the procedure!

I would have also liked them to show a video of the probe like was done when Dr. Oz televised his... "Journey to the Center of His Girth!"

First Ever Live TV Colonoscopy - Including the Probe - YouTube
I tryed to watch it all but there was too much darn talking! I stopped watching after the doctor showed the instrument. That was enough.
