Colonoscopies are almost never performed w/o sedation. Some people take very mild sedation that can be performed outpatient in a mid-level clinic and with very quick acting and body-clearing sedation medications, and some require heavier sedation that have to be performed in an actual hospital, by an actual anesthesiologist. Both involve losing consciousness and memory. I would imagine it is very uncomfortable, and remember being very impressed that Trump both distrusted this country so much, and also loved this country that much.
I got sick in Europe and they gave me an endoscopy with no sedation or anything. It was a horrible experience. It is standard practice around Europe. We sure have critical issues with our health care industry but on this point the US doctors are better. They told me that they considered an endoscopy with no sedation a completely barbaric practice.
Interesting, you have material on Trump avoiding this? I wasn't sure this was a normal thing

I wouldn’t want to be awake for that, but our guys here literally do it on assembly lines, and that’s not humane, either.
