GOOD for Pete!

Pete Petoniak just did something a lot of people wouldn’t dare think of doing.
He shared his colonoscopy with the world. Yes, the world, because it has been posted online. It’s one of those kind of stories where just the word makes you a little squeamish. But it’s also one of those kind of stories that gets people talking.
And that’s the point. Start the talk. And maybe someone in your family will walk the walk.. straight to the doc’s office. Maybe Pete saved someone’s life today.

So.. and I know the whole point of “comments” is to share your mind.. but someone out there thought it was too much to show on tv. Really? In today’s world? With all that is out there on tv and cable and the internet?

We warned people that they might not want to watch. But I did. It was fascinating!
We got the doctor’s point of view. Saw the polyp. And watched as the doctor removed it. Way to go doc!

I think it was very brave of Pete to let us see it. (and see him in his hospital gown).

What do you think??
