CT Colonography (Virtual Colonoscopy)

I wonder how effective this virtual colonoscopy is when compared with the one done with tubes?

I have had this kind of procedure but from the throat down to check for the effects of GERD as well as one up my happy stick. I had to do joy stick exam when I applied for a job at the Post Office in St. Pete for their Christmas rush around 1996. They did a lot of tests and blood showed up in my urine. Quite an ordeal just to have a chance to work a few weeks at the post office sorting mail during the Holidays. I did not get it anyway. Quite a drive down there from Palm Harbor.

They do not put you down nor really give you much of anything for the pain (very little though) with the make merry friend exam. You have to watch as....
