Bums and Benefits: My Colonoscopy via the NHS (National Health Service UK)

from In My Own Time: Thoughts from Fort Buggeration - Introduction

In this episode, Paul shares a very personal tale from the far end of the body.At 73, he's no stranger to medical prodding—and in this frank, gently humorous account, he recalls his two NHS colonoscopies with curiosity, gratitude, and not a hint of embarrassment.With a nod to his father's experience with bowel cancer, Paul explains why this intimate procedure is worth facing head-on (or rather, bottom-up).Expect brown paper pants, some inner housekeeping, and a reminder of why the National Health Service remains one of Britain’s finest ideas.
