It took all morning and afternoon to finish the colonoscopic examination.

  I hadn't expected that it would take all morning and afternoon to have my colon examined by the colonoscope. I ate some special food sold at the hospital shop yesterday, took two pills for loosening the bowels at 9:30, and went by car to the hospital. Three mens including me, were to take the examination. We were given two litters of fluid and was told to drink it 500 cc every thirty minutes. My examination began at 2:30 and ended at a little before 4:00. I was quite exhausted, when I arrived home.
