Thank You for your comment Anna, Bowser and

In my own personal experience we have to have a sense of the ridiculous when having a procedure that is otherwise humiliating.
The diagnostic Doctor who performed my colonoscopy had a South Asian name that was about 20 letters long, what I did not expect from him was quick wit.
As was my usual way I and a friend were being our childish selves while awaiting my 'procedure".
I had been told that I would be given a sedative. Fine, so I'm not to drive and in my mind I will be put to sleep for the "procedure". I have an upper and lower plate so was concerned and asked the nurse if I should remove them.
She says, "Not now, ask the Doctor"
Off we go to be scoped, I hop up on the bed and in comes the doctor. He explains the procedure and tells me I can watch on the screen as the scope proceeds through my colon. Great I'm not going to sleep;
"Any questions, Mr. Hawkins"?
Me... "Should I remove my false teeth"?
Dr.... " That's OK Mr. Hawkins we won't be going up that far today"
The room erupted in laughter and one nurse said "I can't believe he said that"
