Not a clue, but check it: I heard {via a hummingbyrd} that the scopes used for a colonoscopy are only fully sterilized once at the end of the day. The reason being is the process is quite lenghty and requires over six continuous hours. Apparently they are quite costly, too. Most clinics only have one. The logistics of this are the first person in line gets the premium colonoscopy {word: virgin scope} and everybody else gets the *previosuly owned* one. :hurlmyfuckinggutsout: Put it in your day runner, boys - and thank me later.
