I work in a service repair Center fixing medical equipment, mainly endoscopes. I do em all, surgical or medical to go inside all orifices natural of man made. I repair them but I don't know or have come across anybody that's had endoscopy treatment.
Have any of you fine people ever had it done and what was the experience like? You never know you may have had one repaired by my own fair hands rammed up your back passage :)

I've had an endoscopy twice into my stomach via the mouth, on separate occasions. The first time in about 1995 and the tube was about as thick as a hose pipe. I only had the antiseptic spray, and I've got to say seeing a huge black hose coming out of my mouth and feeling the end of it scrape around in my stomach was not pleasant.

The second time was about 2003, and the pipe had become a lot thinner and I was much more mentally prepared. It was still deeply uncomfortable, but I handled it much better.

On both occasions I'd vomited blood (obviously a concern), but it was found I'd split my esophagus on each occasion, probably by the force of the vomit (nice).

I've not but I have a friend (yes, a friend) that had to have his penis scoped as he was suffering with blockage. He said the worst bit wasn't the implement being shoved down his cockeye, it was the needle in the bellend. Yes, he was awake.

I've not been scoped, but I have had a catheter. The nurse went to get the kit to do it, and came back with her reading glasses on, which i thought was a bit rude.

A few days later another nurse caught the tube with her knee as she walked past my bed. Now that did hurt!

Nice, thanks Doc. Around 1995 was a great couple of years of being largely inebriated I must admit!

Cystoscopy a couple of years back, when I was only 19. Age it seems is no object when it comes to having a dickie bladder.

Small world. One of the companies I'm involved with designs medical equipment, including endoscopes, for start-ups and the big boys (J&J & Covidien for example). Pretty good chance you've repaired scopes that my lot designed.

I've never been on the receiving end, but my father was just yesterday to confirm that his bladder cancer had really gone away - thankfully, it has.

I've had a colonoscopy a couple of times (not needed now as I don't have a colon!). Not a great experience but then I was so ill at the time everything was pretty dreadful. When recovering from one of my ops I had a catheter removed but my bladder refused to behave itself so the pressure just built up and up which was unbelievably painful until they put a new catheter in with no anaesthetic! Not a happy time all round.

Had an endoscopy last Friday at Worthing Hospital. Not a pleasant procedure - at least if you opt for the spray rather than the sedative as I did, but it's over in about 10 mins.

Due to a family history of ulcers, yes. Both ends one after the other, absolutely nothing found. Got given the dose of midazolam for a far smaller person by the looks of things as I can remember the entire fecking process and I felt normal, if absolutely starving, within about 60 minutes.

When you're working on them day after day you don't really think about what procedure they're used for. But I must admit when I see the urethra scopes it makes me wince. Especially when they come in with the accessory's & that bloody needle

And I forgot, in the last 2 years I've had 7 cystoscopies, 6 under generals and a flexible one under local. The flexible cystoscopy was a decidedly, er, "uncomfortable" exprrience

I had one up my ARSE last year, weird watching it on TV as they do it

Yes, I think we were all surprised that they broadcast it before the 9 o'clock watershed.

Still, they did mostly film your best side....

I've had a colonoscopy and though it ain't too pleasant to have that thing stuck up your arse the laughing gas made up for it several times over. I tripped out and had a whale of a time
in fact he could probably have shoved a telegraph pole up there and I wouldn't have noticed.
