Went to the Temple VA. Since my father died of colon cancer, i get the joy of having a camera stuck up my guts.
This appointment had been put in by no less then three docs. Over a 6 mo span.
Then the secret list thing came out. I had the appointment within a month of the last doc putting in the referral. The two referrals before 'vanished'.
Anyway, it wasn't bad at all. You check in, strip down, iV. They wheel you down the hall.
Then comes the Demerol. The last thing you'll remember, that entire day...is the nurse injecting the IV. Its good stuff!
Im not kidding, you will blank out for hours. No memories at all. I was told I refused the wheelchair and walked out drunk on Demerol. Telling the people in the waiting room, their husbands will be the same way. I have no memory of this.
When you come to....youre at home. With no memories of a camera stuck up your butt.
The Temple VA did a good job. No pain at all.
And they kiss your a$$ afterwards. They call a day later and ask how youre doing.
This whistle blowing needed to happen years ago.
I now get the camera every five years till Im dead.
RIP TOTSE
