Maybe a pleasant tale will help! I had a colonoscpy. Before they started the procedure, they informed me of all the things that could go wrong. I asked what the odds were. They told me numbers, which I forget. I remember doing a bit of mental calulation, and realized that my odds of surviving the colonoscopy were better than my odds of surviving one day of commuting to work. Yes, accidents happen, but not often. Incidentally, they had the fibre optic camera inside me connected to a big monitor that I could see. It was kind of fun, like exploring a cave, but without the claustrophobic fear of a rockslide. I even got to see where my appendix started, from the inside! -- hendrik > -- > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
