@CTBarrister posted:I think a distilled water enema should be sufficient so long as you are on a liquid diet starting after lunch the day before the test. In my case they look well up the ileum because I have inflammation there. So my doc orders a laxative to make sure I am clean for the above pouch scoping.
It is cool that you get medical for free in Canada. Does that extend to dental? I have dental insurance but only covers cleanings and x rays. I fractured a molar last week and am having it extracted and an implant put in. It's over $1400 for the extraction and bone graft and over $2600 for the implant, a $4000 gut punch that I will need to take right in the solar plexus. No insurance coverage on it. When I catch my wind from that punch, there will be another $2000 gut punch for a crown 6 months after the implant. A $6000 double whammy of punches. This debacle all because one tooth fractured.
It doesn't extend to cosmetic dental. Depending on your income you can get free basic dental care (which means that if you need a root canal, you'd get it pulled for free). So we still have a lot of toothless folks. However, implants are about $5,000! I need one - ugh.
