If you’re due for a colonoscopy, make the appointment. If you’re overdue for a colonoscopy, make the appointment today.

I’ve had three. The prep for the procedure means you spend a lot of time in the bathroom, which means you get a lot of reading done. The procedure itself is a piece of cake because they give you good drugs.

And if you’re worried about them finding something? Well, shouldn’t you be far more worried if there’s something there and you don’t do anything about it?

It’s one aspect of health care about which there is zero debate: If a colonoscopy is called for — just do it.
