"Word of mouth" is the best promotion tool we know. I act on---or don't---from what I read here. When people are together they talk of what they're doing and how they feel about what they're doing. That's it. Make colonoscopy part of our conversations. It's common to think of the procedure as unmanly. Get the word around that it's what smart people do. It's painless and a sure way to add flying years to our lives.
I mentioned more than 30 years ago to my female doctor that I'm 50 and mumbled something that left the impressions I wasn't sure about it with a woman. "Do you want me to make an appointment with a male doctor," she said. Put on the spot, I thought she's a helluva doctor, she either is my doctor or isn't, and said No.
"Get up on the table," she said. "Take down your pants and face the wall." She examined at the rectum, said what she felt was okay, and made an appointment for a colonoscopy. Subsequent examinations turned up polyps. I make a point of discussing them as a manly thing to do, and brag a bit about my wonderful doctor.
