AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Ever had a cystoscopy? I don't recommend it. If you don't know what a cystoscopy is, just back away slowly and forget that you read this.

can the title be edited, pretty please? it skews the screen so it doesn't all fit in.

and, no, I've never had a cytowhatsit. ;)

Cystoscopy is a test that allows your doctor to look at the interior lining of the bladder and the urethra.

Still not sure, but it sounds painful! Sorry.

Why would one have such a procedure? I mean, it doesn't sound like something that is a first line of investigation for a particular symptom. . .

HIPAA isn't just a good idea, it's the law. Now you have to bleach your eyeballs, shame on you.

I'm backing away slowly, and am happy, just for this small moment, that I am not Flint. ;)

Had one.

it Sucked.

WTF?! You don't even have a PROSTATE ... that's the worst part!

oh, fling, or flint...whatever your name is.

Women can have them as well as men. Women have bladders; it's just the journey to get there is faster for women than for (most) men.

They were checking my bladder wall for CA. A cystoscopy is like any 'scope: colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, endoscopy...

One specific thought I've been having is that I like a total wimp for complaining about this,
when Brianna and others here have been going through chemo and all sort sof other "fun stuff" ...

Brianna, did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everythig I wish I could be. And I can fly higher than an eagle, when you are the wind beneath my wings.

I know, Flint. I know.

Actually, that adage applies to everybody. I just returned from my eye doctor...his assistant was telling me her mother is dealing with colon cancer. They cut a hole in her so big that now she has NO control over her bowels. I asked if the large Depends work and the assist. said, "well, they get some of it....but, not all. My mother won't leave the house now; she's too embarrassed," and I felt like a complete ass for bitching about my situation. All I have to do is wear a wig when I go out---not wonder if my gut is going to slide down my legs...poor woman. I said a prayer for her then and there.

Hey I just looked it up! I love procedural illustrations. This is what I found out:

Ow. That sucks Flint. I've heard that this is very painful. Esp. for men because...well...*shiver*

Oh dear Flint
I assume they stuck a needle up your Japs eye?

If it's any comfort, we women have to have a smear every three years, which is also uncomfortable, and if the nurse is rough it can be downright painful.

I had a nasty one once when I was off to see a new paramour. Left blood spots in my nice new lacy knickers. She's still on my hit list.

Agreed. My display is 1024x768, and I'm getting that damn horizontal scrollbar due to Flint's excessively long and non-nonsensical thread title.

Here you go:

Interesting. Here it's advocated to have a checkup with pap smear every year. The doctor does the exam then takes the actual sample, while the nurse just has to stand there and watch. There didn't used to be a nurse present, but I assume one too many docs were accused of (or actually did) take advantage of the situation, and do a more thorough exam than was required, ahem.

My insurance has always paid for the exam, so it was no cost. There are clinics that do them for free or on a sliding scale (Planned Parenthood, Emma Goldman) though, so there really is no excuse for someone without benefits.

Yep. Malpractice insurance in Texas requires that all male OB-GYNs have a female nurse present during every examination as a possible counter-witness, or they won't insure you. Some doctors just have the nurse there assisting, but my OB's office does this weird thing where the nurse will casually just happen to come in and stock supplies or straighten cabinets just at the right moment.

Oh, fuck no. Not a little skinny needle.
A tube with a fucking CAMERA on the end of it. Down my dickhole, past the prostate, and all the way into the bladder. A camera.

My Dad has had something like that....he referred to it as feeling like the cameraman was in there too.

Every two years, unless you have an abnormal smear, in Australia.

My gyno is my ex boyfriend's Father...it was a tad weird to begin with.

To see a new paramour? All I want to after a pap smear is curl up in bed with a box of doughnuts, and kick my husband if he even comes near me!

see....I pay attention to details of the things people say.

Notice here that Flint uses the term 'down', not 'up'. This, from what i've observed of my own John Thomas, would indicate a state of arousal.

I wonder who was the operator of said camera aperatus? How many people were in the room at the time?

But what if you were on your back on a table? Would you say down? Or sideways? Or up?

UP

maybe it just relates to the direction in relation to your midline.

up the butt

down the hatch

and so on and so forth

Assuming they were trying to grip it straight in the air as much as possible for a straight insertion (gravity love it)...I would say down. I doubt they want to do it sideways, and I can't imagine how they would use an upward insertion. At all. No matter what direction it was lying I don't imagine that up would be the direction.....

They aren't intentionally coming here, just stepping on the keyboard.
Once they're here they'll stay of course.
