Number of Americans killed by Isis in the U.S. = 0

Number of Americans killed by Ebola in the U.S. =1

Average Annual deaths from Colon Cancer in the U.S. = 50,000

Average annual number of Americans seriously injured or killed due to colonoscopies = 70,0000.


These are just the facts. Don't kill the messenger.

I'm sorry you were injured when you and your wife had role reversal night, but that wasn't a colonoscopy.

I think you're the only dumbass here that can't infer how much larger the cancer rate would be without the colonoscopy.

There's an old saying that goes something like, "Don't use a sledgehammer to kill a gnat."

Taking Ebola as an example, i dont think anybody is saying this is the Black Plague. That being said, what's wrong with taking some common sense approaches?

Is taking precautions to increase the chances that we don't experience another Thomas Duncan situation a bad thing to do?

Guy next to me with colon cancer vomits on me, I won't get colon cancer. Guy next to me with Ebola vomits on me, I am pretty much fricked.

Sorry but those websites don't look remotely legit.

I would really like to see evidence supporting your claim that 70k are killed or seriously injured annually from colonoscopies.

All less of a risk than catching the Stupid Virus by clicking on one of your threads.

RA'd. This is the second time you've tried to spread false information, without any evidence whatsoever, about a valuable healthcare screening tool. It is dangerous talk and should not be allowed here.

I'm sure you don't realize this, but shoving a dildo up your own arse =/= a colonoscopy.

I was unaware that Isis, Colon Cancer, and colonoscopies were highly infectious diseases.

How about a quiz? Who would you rather be in a room with for 10 hours? Rank in order of priority?

A. Isis
B. Ebola Victim
C. Colon Cancer Victim
D. Someone getting a colonoscopy

Also, if you want to go that route, more people are killed by knives than by guns. Just the facts...
