And this is why you should listen to your doctor when she says you need a colonoscopy. While it’s true that we have funny looking doctors, they can still save your life.

We’ve all heard the reasons why we should get a colonoscopy. But what do you actually know about this procedure?

1. It is a test that looks for precancerous growths in the colon, which if found early enough, can be removed before they turn into cancer.

2. During the procedure, a long, flexible tube with a tiny camera on the end called a colonoscope is gently inserted into your rectum, and then advanced through your entire colon in search of any suspicious growths.

3. The whole process lasts about 30 minutes to an hour and patients are lightly sedated during the exam so they’re comfortable and don’t feel any discomfort.

4. If there are abnormal spots or polyps found during the procedure, these growths can be removed immediately without any additional recovery time because you’re already asleep from the sedative administered during the test. This means that you wake up cancer free!

5. Most people only need to be screened once every 10 years (as long as no precancerous polyps were found), so

A funny looking doctor can be scary. For example, consider the cartoon character, “Dr. Funny Looking.” He is a cartoon character created by Walt Disney to shock and frighten children. His deformity is so great that it is literally impossible for any human being to stand upright in his presence.

But you don’t need to be a child to be scared of a funny looking doctor. Many adults are afraid of them too. The reason? They think that a funny looking doctor is going to hurt them in some way. Perhaps they think the doctor will perform some horrible test on them without their permission or even worse: operate on them!

But there are many doctors out there who look perfectly normal and have nothing wrong with them at all! In fact, if you see one of these doctors on TV, chances are he’s just acting like a normal person and not doing anything unusual whatsoever!

So why do people get scared when they see a funny looking doctor? It’s because they’re afraid of what might happen if he does something bad. And what could possibly go wrong? Well, here’s one possibility . . .

Oh, it’s a really, really big problem. We’ve got a lot of doctors and registered nurses out there dressed up in furry outfits, roaming around and injecting us with vaccinations. How are we supposed to know who to trust?

The fact is, there’s no reason to believe medical professionals need to wear traditional white lab coats. They’re just like anyone else – they want to express themselves creatively through their work clothes. And yes, some of them want to do that in a way that looks funny or scary. But that doesn’t mean they’re not qualified!

Want proof? Just look at this picture:

A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine discusses a new trend in American medicine. Many patients are choosing to forgo their insurance-covered visits to physicians and instead pay out of their own pockets for services from nurse practitioners.

This is obviously great news for Nurse Practitioners and the Nurse Practitioner lobby, but it’s bad news for America’s doctors, who will be faced with a sudden influx of patients that they cannot possibly accommodate within the confines of their existing practices. Traditional medical schools will be forced to close as they are unable to attract enough students, and many hospitals may also have to shut down. In addition, many doctors will be unable to afford their mortgages and other expenses, which could lead to even more foreclosures.

There are some benefits, however. If you’ve ever been treated by a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant, you know that not only do they provide medical care at lower cost than doctors, but they also have better bedside manner (more on that later). The new trend is also helping to alleviate the shortage of primary care physicians in this country.

But let’s hear from a few people who are on the front lines of this movement: “I’ve always taken care of myself,” says one woman who recently

It’s no secret that the insurance industry has an image problem, and a new poll suggests that the public trusts doctors more than health insurers.

A recent Gallup poll found that 73 percent of Americans said they had a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in doctors, compared with just 39 percent in insurance companies. The results were similar to those from last year.

But while Americans may like their doctors, they are divided over whether they want them running their health care systems. While 66 percent said they would prefer a system run by doctors and hospitals, 28 percent said they wanted one run by employers and insurance companies.

I think the two findings are related: people trust doctors because they don’t understand how complex medical decisions really are, and how hard it is for any individual doctor to know what is best for each patient. We want to believe that our own doctor knows what’s best for us, but we also like having other options available — especially if our own doctor screws up.

But there is an even bigger problem with trusting doctors more than insurers: Doctors have an incentive to do things to us that might not be in our best interest. If your doctor recommends some new treatment, you will often take her advice — even though you don’t have enough

The experts who study and write about health care often call this “the doctor-patient relationship,” which is a nice way of putting it, but doesn’t capture the reality: the doctor is in control.

Doctors are powerful because they have so much information about their patients. Patients are powerful because they have so little information about their doctors.

For most people, this asymmetry works well. You wouldn’t want to know much about your doctor, or have to think much about how to evaluate them. You’re busy and stressed, you need medical help, and you want to trust your doctor. And most of the time you can: doctors are smart and hard-working and do a good job.

But sometimes things go wrong. How can you tell if that’s happening? You can’t just ask someone else; they don’t know what’s going on with you either. You need information that only the doctor knows. And even though you’re too busy to analyze it yourself, you still need it analyzed somehow—ideally by a computer program that has access to data about millions of other patients with similar problems, so it can give you an idea what the risks are for someone like you.

You always want a great doctor who will take care of all your problems
