You and your doctor are about to experience the sort of intimacy compared with which marital bedroom relations are but a passing nod on the highway of life. Make sure your doctor is someone who puts you at ease, and with whom you can be entirely candid. It is recommended for a procedure of this nature that you avoid any doctor with a creepy German accent, especially if he tells you his family "fled ze Fazerland after ze var." Also, if a doctor appears overly enthusiatic at the prospect of performing your colonoscopy, consider it a warning sign. Finally, avoid the temptation to receive your colonoscopy from practitioners operating out of vans; although inexpensive, these "gypsy colonoscopists" are rare
- A colonoscopy is a medical procedure where a large tube is inserted through the anus and rectum into the large intestine to allow viewing instruments to be placed in the tube to allow the physician to examine the large intestine for any blockages or growths. It is an important diagnostic tool for many diseases of the large intestine including colon cancer. However, the procedure is also one of the most invasive and uncomfortable procedures for a patient as it is done without an anesthetic and usually lasts for a considerable period of time.

Also, if a doctor appears overly enthusiatic at the prospect of performing your colonoscopy, consider it a warning sign. Finally, avoid the temptation to receive your colonoscopy from practitioners operating out of vans; although inexpensive, these "gypsy colonoscopists" are rarely medically certified, operate under non-sterile conditions and are much more likely to post the pictures on the Internet.

It is possible to do a virtual colonoscopy with a CT Scan, but although this procedure is much less invasive, it is also far more expensive.
