Although this is available as a podcast, I encourage you to see the video on YouTube.

In this episode, I discourage you from doing a colonoscopy without anesthesia, even though that's what I did.
I mention three reasons why you might want to avoid anesthesia:
- You lack a ride.
- You need to save money (if you lack insurance, you may have to pay extra for anesthesia).
- You are against anesthesia due to a phobia.
In the episode, I mentioned I had "PTSD" about feeling the probe inside me after the procedure. I didn't mention that that sensation only lasted for three hours and was mild. I didn't want some people to think I suffered for days or weeks.
Being afraid of anesthesia is reasonable since, every year, patients have complications, albeit rarely.
Michael Jackson died because he overdosed on propofol, the same drug used to sedate you during your colonoscopy.
Luckily, your physician will be better than the Moonwalker's doctor.
I do not practice medicine, and it's stupid to believe everything you read on the Internet, so I encourage you to be skeptical about what I say.
Still, I may opt for sedation when I have to do a colonoscopy again at 60. Or I'll ask the doc to lube my ass up thoroughly!
Dr. Peter Attia explains why you should do a colonoscopy every 1-3 years
