Psst! Wanna Buy a Slightly Used Colonoscope?
Who knew the 'scope used in a colonoscopy was worth so much - especially a "used" one : http://www.postgazette.com/pg/07124/783305-53.stm.

What SHOCKED me when I got my colonoscopy was that the women besides me was getting her THROAT scoped! All I could think of during the wait was "How well could they clean these things!" :P

Re: Psst! Wanna Buy a Slightly Used Colonoscope?
OK, I had both done. They call it an "over and under." Different scopes used, thank God, and fortunately, lots of good drugs, so you don't really care WHAT they do!

Re: Psst! Wanna Buy a Slightly Used Colonoscope?
Here in SF, a high percentage of wazoo's might hold all 66. Err, that's just a guess, no evidence so there may be holes in my theory.

Reminds me of the old joke about the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer: the taste.

Ha! Not at my local hospital. Here in Loudoun County, Va they were busted for not cleaning them properly and there was a big investigation on whether they gave anyone any diseases. I don't remember the outcome as I was not involved.

Re: Psst! Wanna Buy a Slightly Used Colonoscope?
The disposable ones are cheaper. Plus they don't have to be sterile (think of where they're going). Why do I know this? :P

Re: Psst! Wanna Buy a Slightly Used Colonoscope?
I wonder how long until someone points out how long a used disposable colonoscope sits in a landfill before it breaks down into some horrible set of compounds...

Hmmm. They could easily be saved from the landfills. Simply put them on Freecycle.
