What really inspires someone to go into proctology, anyway??
It's worse than you think, actually...
Although there isn't such a thing as a "proctologist" anymore... at least in the US... there are board certified colorectal surgeons.
Many colorectal surgical procedures are very interesting. However, one doesn't have to be a colorectal surgeon to do these very well. I do quite a few types of colorectal surgery in my minimally invasive surgical practice, and I do them with the scope. Many colorectal surgeons who have been around for a long time are not capable of doing these operations laparoscopically.
Basically, I get a lot of great cases because of this, that they don't.
On the other hand, there are types of nightmare patients that I won't touch. I make sure to defer to my more experienced colleagues when such a patient shows up.
So, the result of specializing in Colorectal Surgery is to have one's practice enriched in nightmare referrals!!!
we went through all that for the pun.
I've almost died once...I will submit to any poking and prodding that is available or suggested...well, mostly suggested, I pay extra for the available bits...I had fun when I was a kid and won't deter my kids from doing the same, I only hope that they would be able to keep a level head and stop before the damage is too overcoming...
Good question...
Young boys are often always saying "Man if I was a Dr. I would be a gynocologyst...
Me? I was always that guy who thought that this would be one of my best patients:
Not only is that look similar to the bulk of my patient population (both women AND MEN) but it also is the look of the vast majority of our nursing staff.
In our facility, any woman who wears scrubs that hang free between the bust and the hips, no matter what size they are, looks like a goddess.

And with my retinas on fire...the Doc. hits 400 posts....better then Dear Abby in my world...

The difference between the Food and Beverage and Medical fields becomes smaller and smaller (while the service staff/nurses become larger and larger)
Wasn't it in our adolescence that we made fun of the Russians being fat/obese? 20 years down the road and we are drooling over their models while our standards are being 'super sized'.

How much would THAT suck??
Yes, I believe that the doc who did my colonoscopy a few years back was a colorectal surgeon... don't fully recall his title though (had seen SOoooo many docs by that point) and made sure I was drugged enough so that I would NOT recall... LOL. He had the perfect last name for the job: pronounced Turd-i-man. ha!
Bellydoc, are you old enough to remember the Assman episode of Seinfeld?
Boy, I checked this thread for the first time this week and already I have another question. After 2.5 years of vigilance, it appears that my toddler son finally got away with swallowing something tonight -- a marble (thanks to CheFJ posting his half naked pics LOL). I am calm now, after the inital panic, but I am wondering: do I need to be checking all of his poop for this? I don't imagine it could obstruct anything, but who knows... I'm not even certain that he did, but I have SCOURED the area and have not found the offending marble. Stupid marble run toy!!
