Dental health is nothing to floss over.
Having a camera shoved up my rectum was not the way I wanted to celebrate my 50th year. Turning 50 is a wonderful milestone in a person's stay on Earth. Traditionally a birthday of high celebration, it's a time of meaningful connections and thoughtful gifts. The first of such tests is the sigmoidoscopy. In this highly sophisticated medical procedure, your doctor shoves a plastic hose up your rectum, equipped with a television camera and something like a set of pincers, and proceeds to collect samples off your colonic walls.
