Good god. I went to get one, and in the pre-screening, the anesthesiologist asked if I wanted to be awake for it. “Doc, I don’t want to be awake, I don’t want to feel a thing, and I don’t want to remember a thing. Put me out.”

Requiring people to be awake is a good way to guarantee they don’t get the procedure. Which mathematically makes it far more likely for the insurer to incur enormous colon cancer treatment expenses, erasing their profiteering.

Just find an excuse to deny those claims, too!


Have you considered a lucrative career in healthcare management!

This presupposes the insurer isn’t going to deny claims for that treatment, too.
