Well now I want to do it

Endoscopy is through the mouth. That would be a colonoscopy.

Oh man... Good thing I'm not a doctor.

Well a colonoscope is actually an endoscope, just one meant for colonoscopies. Endoscope is just a generic term for the tool. (endo- = inside/within, -scope = tool for viewing)

And gastroscope is the type specifically for the esophagus and stomach.

The endoscopy scope and the colonoscopy scope are the same scope.

You never go ass to mouth!

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

If you can go from ass to mouth then your scope is too big.

How do you tell the difference between an oral endoscope and a rectal scope? The taste.

[–] Bananable@feddit.nl 12 points 2 years ago

You can just open them, all the ones at my Uni have tubular locks that can be opened as fast as using the key.

Is this picture from Canada, or do they sell Hawkins Cheezies anywhere else? They were my favourite snack as a kid, but I think they might only exist here in Canada?
