I've been told I need a colonoscopy.
So at least I've got that to look forward to.

I think you'll find you need to look behind you.

So I'll be looking forwards, but they will be looking behind?
Gotcha

My wife wants to be there when the camera goes up my bum. I said 'I hope it's not a Nikon'

Well that's a successful insertion, now let's deploy the solar array, 250m wingspan, we call it The Dilator

For some reason my colleague always called it a 'telescope'.

It is also a camera, though.
Just one with an absolute heckin chonker of a telephoto lens.

well the main thing is that it's massive and is going to be forcibly inserted into octo's arse.

I'm sure we can all agree that that's the import thing here.

We used to do bowel prep & booster medication for capsule endoscopies,
where you swallow a capsule fitted with a light and two cameras, it takes thousands of pictures and transmits them to a receiver worn round your waist. You then shit out the capsule and send the receiver away, and they examine your photos.

Pros: it can be administered anywhere, not just in a hospital endoscopy unit; it's much less invasive.

Cons: jury still seems to be out on how reliable it is (a lot of endoscopy folk really don't seem to trust it); the halfwits screening the patients kept neglecting to confirm their postal addresses, so we kept having medication returned undelivered because they'd put the wrong address on the prescription; the company administering the scheme in partnership with the NHS went into liquidation last year without telling us, so it came to a rather abrupt end.
