Endoscopy for Beginners

Note from the Editor:
This article was kindly written for the SDC by member @Nichola.

There are people, I’m told, who enter their autumn years as fit and wiry as they were as teenagers. I’m sure you’ve heard of them. The type that hasn’t taken an Aspro since 1965, when the midwife said it ‘might take the edge off’ after a three-day labour with their Billy…

I am not one of those people.



My medicine cupboard looks like an outpost of Chemist Warehouse. And with good reason. I don’t think there’s an inch of my body that hasn’t been repaired or removed. I blame genetics for this because, let’s face it, it helps to blame something or someone. Our ancestors passed down everything from bad hearts to bad feet.

With my family, it was bad bowels.

There’s nothing romantic or even dignified about bowels. Operatic heroines die from consumption or suicide—not Crohn’s, colitis or diverticular disease.
