Connie,
I've had 8 interns looking up my bazootie at once. When I was finally
diagnosed with CD it was at a teaching hospital in Washington, D.C. My GI
was head of gastroenterology and wanted all these guys (yes, men) to see
what Crohn's looked like as at the time, there was practically nothing known
about it. (1970) That was when I was at my sickest and I weighed 74 lbs.
They didn't have me on the table that tilts; I had to kneel with my arse in
the air and my left shoulder on the table. What a position that was!!!!
Talk about feeling exposed!! Anyway, while they were all taking their turn
looking, my mother and father were in the exam room next door and my mother
later told me that when my father heard me tell them to please hurry, that
it hurt so bad, it was all she could do to keep him there instead of
breaking down the doors to get to me. He was furious. You have to
remember, back then you were not given anything for pain or to relax you.
I still have nightmares about having that colonoscopy!! I actually wake up
in tears and shaking all over. :o(
Linda
