A simple yes is outside my scope of practice. RN's are only allowed to equivocate.😝

Well, it depends on your age, your lifestyle, your known risk factors, and, because we live in America, your insurance...

Non-invasive screening is preferred at that age if one is low risk - a colonoscopy is not without certain hazards (I've had a handful of patients who've been perfed during routine scopes through the years; it's not common, but it's pretty catastrophic when it happens.) For those who are high risk, colonoscopy is recommended starting at 40; some sources say 35, depending (due to family history, my two youngest siblings were recommended to start at that age.)

Routine colonoscopies aren't recommended until 50 unless there's a family history. That said, it's a sad day. My mother died of the same thing.

I saw them all. It's true what they say: Even numbered Star Trek movies don't suck. And Undiscovered Country was pretty good.

You can get a lot of iron from greens and legumes, too.

Nothing Marvel, nothing Star Wars since the original 3.

Well, these things come in threes, so maybe you're ok for a while now.

Yes. A body's got to do what a body's got to do.

Whew! Good on you, mate! (Are you/ have you been ALS, or were you lucky?)

Huh?

Love you too, baby. ♥️

11 or 12. Damn, I miss Payless.

You have to find out if they're setting fires and wetting the bed to be sure.

Just be sure to wear shoes.

For myself, I don't. When I'm listening to a book, I'm usually doing something else at the same time, so it's not getting my full attention. I don't think it counts as really reading it unless one is fully engaged.

And sounds like Grover.

Literally, for the same reason.

On their way.

Promises, promises...

It was my nickname in nursing school. Chemicals were involved.

My first thought was "generic BP med."

And that's a verified no.
