 DS>> I knew a ham radio operator in Wisconsin, who was also a nurse. When
 DS>> one ham said they were going in for a needed colonoscopy, she added
 DS>> "Be sure to pass plenty of gas!! It's the only time it's permitted!!"
 NB>> In fact, they won't let you go home after abdominal surgery until you
 NB>> do pass gas, and have your first BM post surgery.... have to make
 NB>> sure it's all working as it should.... 

 DS> That's what I told the nurses that one time..."My colon brought me
 DS> in here!! I want to make sure it's working before I leave!!". Or, the
 DS> nurses say "You can't go home, until you go poop"!! 

There can be some really serious complications... better to discover
them before you go home, so you don't have to come back to emergency...
