I had to have a Barium Enema 10 years ago. I was in my 40s. The technician has a device that shoots this white chalky liquid stuff up your ass. This guy was probably all of 24 years old. I know I shouldn't be prejudice because of his age but I felt uncomfortable more ways than one. He was very professional.
Then when everything was over they had this little closet bathroom with a sliding door. With no sound proof. The next patient had already come in because I could hear them. If I could hear them, they could hear me was my thought. There is a lot if air that's released after a Barium Enema from the body. It was a very humiliating experience and I have had some in my time. Something I won't forget. Ive had all kinds of procedures including sigmoidoscopy and a colonoscopy among others but never felt the embarrassment like that.
I had an HMO at the time. I talked with my doctor and told him what a lame set up they had. Not patient friendly whatsoever. I told him this kind of thing I felt unacceptable.
