anticolonoscopy pop culture and "science"

The ultimate anticolonoscopy statement is the 2007 feature film, Sublime.  The protagonist's procedure goes awry and leaves him in a prolonged, excruciatingly terror-filled coma mercifully ended by death. 

Advisory: do not recommend to anyone in need of a colonoscopy. Practitioners should view in order to deal with possible patient fears generated by it. 

Although considered the "gold standard" for colon cancer screening, opposition comes in part from pseudoscience elements who claim it not only ineffective, but unsafe. In his Death by Colonoscopy video series, Konstantin Monastyrsky, self-proclaimed expert in the field of "forensic nutrition," selects bits and pieces from various studies and commonly misinterprets findings to support his anticolonoscopy bias (see, e.g, the segment in the bottom video from 1:25 to 2:15). Recommended to use as object of critique for beginning students.
