More info.
I was just at my doctor's yesterday for my physical.

- They can now do a "stethescope test" near the base of your neck to see if you are PRONE to strokes.

- There's now a simple lab test they can do to see if you require further study with a colonoscopy. In other words, you may be able to skip the colonoscopy altogether.

Isn't science grand!

Cystoscopy: had one once. I cringe at the mere mention of the word <grin>

Good luck!
