Chris,

I actually thought the cscope was kind of fun; they give some really good drugs for it--didn't feel a thing, I had a nice rest.

Plus, it is one of the best preventive tests us oldsters can take.

I gotta agree with Chuck...real smooth and easy and very necessary for guys our age.

BTW: How do we get on these topics?

If anyone would know them drugs by name...I am not surprised it was you eric.

You didn't mention the most fun part. They don't let you leave until you fart. It's the only place I've been where a women has asked me if I want her to "pull my finger". When she said that, I almost fell of the gurney.

Ouch. I've had the procedure 4 times, and each time they put me out under a general. Only out for about 20 minutes as I understand it, but certainly no pain. BKH

Doc, I think this question comes from multiple threads, and not from this one (after all my stand here is "get the physical"). You're probably not looking for a history of my life, but I'll try to answer you.

First, I've taken many stands in my life. As a young man I was a very opinionated SOB, and it probably cost me multiple promotions.

I'm also very good at winning debates or arguments. Besides being a litigation attorney, I was on national debate teams in college. I am very good at winning an argument from either side of the equation, whether I believe in the point or not. That "skill" has probably cost me friendships, and definitely put a damper on
my first marriage.

I certainly have opinions, but having grown up in California; being educated at Berkeley; with careers in sales and in the law, I may be more tolerant of other people's opinions than is the norm. I'm sure you might see my tolerance as being "on the fence."

Also, somewhere over the course of my 44 years, I learned I was a pretty good mediator, and I enjoyed it a lot more than being a bull-nosed litigator. Somewhere in the course of that transformation my blood presssure dropped over 20 points; I gained a lot more friends; built a much better second marriage; gained the patience to become a father; and found my niche professionally.

In short Doc, I'm more than capable of taking a stand. Most times I deliberately choose not to. I try to pick my spots carefully - where it matters, and where it matters most to me.

In the end, this is a site devoted to recreational boating. I come here for fun, not for debate. BKH
