Colonoscopies redux
Pardon my ignorance, but what are the "risks"?

Bowel perforation risky enough for you?
Yeah, that's what the doc said. Bowel tissue becomes thinner and
weaker--more susceptible to puncture-- as one ages.
He also suggested, in more med-school language, that if no signs of
impending colon cancer can be spotted at age 75, you'll probably DIE
before the cancer can kill you.
Now if that ain't cheery news, what the heck is?
