She's been putting the colonoscopy off for three years, giving one excuse after another. Fasting's not the issue. Enemas aren't the issue. It's the anesthesia. No, not even the anesthesia, the I.V. Years ago, they were willing to just give her a valium and tell her not to move. The doctor himself called her crazy, but she even enjoyed watching the little black and green monitor. Then he said he'd do the test without the anesthesia but not without the I.V. Something might go wrong. Almost by chance she found another place that used this new anesthesia that put her completely out almost the second it pricked her and let her wake up feeling almost refreshed. Still, she waited, trying to stall the next test. In the meantime that doctor moved to a different facility and had no time for that gentleness she remembered. As she was going under she heard some strange, disgruntled murmurs. Some flunkie must have left the case unlocked. Every single scope was gone.
