Everyone knows you can only watch a movie on release and never after that point.
Even then, it’s only 36 years old! Most people don’t get their colonoscopy until they’re 45 or 50. 40 if they’re more at risk.
Only 36 years old.....that means if you watched it when you were 9, when the movie was new (which was the style at the time) you're 45, dude.
Dude kids watched it way younger than 9. By 9 most kids were on to PG-13. And it had a long tail lol it’s not like they only watched it the year it came out. Huge all through the 90’s.
Lol. Bullshit if you think 10 year olds were watching more pg13 stuff in the 80s/early 90s than cartoons and Disney animated films. That Era was land before time, little mermaid, Oliver and company, rockadoodle, all dogs go to heaven, secret of nihm, Aladin, etc.
Also, just FYI, I am aware that like 3 of those movies aren't disney flicks.
When did I say “more than cartoon and Disney animated films”? I’m saying by 9 A lot of kids are watching PG-13, which means they were watching the land before time well before 9. I understand that may have not been clear to you, but hopefully that clears it up.
Am 38 and my friend just got his first one. They're recommending them younger now, 40-45.
No, actually they recommended colorectal screening at 45, which includes blood tests, stool DNA, and stool tests. If those are abnormal, then you go visual.
So basically you don't need a colonocopy, nor is it recommended, unless something is unusual in the blood/stool or you are high risk.
Good to know, thanks! I haven't had that chat with my doctor yet.
Makes sense. I probably should too. Kind of been hoping for years that they would find something a little less… Invasive by this point lol
As long as you aren't high risk, the brand in the US is Cologuard. Shit in a box and they mail it to a lab.
Yes, blood and stool tests are not only just as effective for screening, they are they recommended tests.
I don’t know why but I saw colonoscopy and immediately thought i read prostate exam instead
Turns out they changed the suggestion for that too! Start with blood tests and go from there.
Oh good to know
