A few months ago I had a biopsy of the bowels, now they want to put a camera that way and look around. Now last time it was very painful, so this time they're giving me the option of being sedated and being put to sleep.

My mum doesn't like the idea, and thinks I should brave it out. What do you think? It means going two hours earlier as well.

Do it, I was such a wuss I asked for the "magic gel" for them to put the canuler(sp) in and now I ask for it all the time when I get Blood taken. Mind you I was on alot of Morphine so I probs said a load of rubbbish.

I thought you meant 'put to sleep' like the put an animal to sleep! :confused:

I understand that it's painful, but they are risks when you go under anesthetic, which you can avoid by not going under. If it was my choice, I think I'd just put up with the pain.

Maybe John would be a good person to talk to about this, seeing as he's a nurse?

I hope it all goes as well as it can. :)

Have the pain relief Jono the risk is minimal and there's no reason to suffer unnecessarily. There's a fashion in medicine at the moment to give the least pain releif possible - I don't like this fashion...a few Consultants should be made to undergo procedures without much anaesthesia, I'll bet there'd soon be a change in their thinking!

Get put to sleep. Its like women who refuse pain relief when giving birth, its unneccessary to go through that pain.

Feeling a bit drowsy afterwards and a few unlikely risks is worth it surely? I dont know, but i dont fancy no camera going anywhere near me when i was awake :/

Good luck though, hope everything goes ok.

DC they want to use a little camara to see if the operation that he had worked and its not infected!:P

Kind of. I had a biopsy to check for cancer cells, now they want to find out what has been causing me discomfort for the last five years. They were keen to do a full check of the bowels instead of a short examination. Then on Thursday, I'm having some heart tests, and then I'm going about my blurry vision the week after. It's gonna be a fun easter! Anyway, just wanted your opinions as opposed to sympathy.

Hmmmm, it's a bit of a tricky decision, I personally have a bit of an irrational phobia of being put to sleep and then having people do things to me that I don't know about while I'm unconscious so I'd probably just choose to put up with it. I would feel a lot better actually knowing what it was that was being done to me... no smart-arse comments or "G'mornin"s please.

So save the last dance

When you say 'put to sleep', do you mean a full anaesthetic or some kind of sedative that won't put you fully out? There's a tiny tiny risk with an anaesthetic. You're probably more likely to die on the way to the hospital that from the anaesthetic.

It's up to you really if you want to be put to sleep or not. I had a general anaesthetic when I had my tonsils out and I felt ok afterwards, just tired. The morphine made me hallucinate, which would have terrified me normally, but it also made me feel really relaxed about it.

As a general rule though, if a doctor says "this might be quite uncomfortable", it will hurt like hell, so you're not being a wimp by doing whatever it takes to lessen the pain.

I hope your medical treatment goes well.

I'd be put to sleep!

I agree, theres nothing better than being pain free. When I was in hospital last year I had the option to be put to sleep when they wanted to do an exploratory thing with the camera and I said yeah id have it. Although they didnt need to do it in the end cos the scan showed up alrite it still was the best option.

(My Consultant might want to do it in the future if im in pain again..)

Cos I was on the kids ward and it was something stupid like 2am in the morning and I was half asleep I got the option to have the magic gel when they put my canuler in. All I can say is that Stuff is mint but left me with a huge irritant afterwards.

If it was me I think I would choose the being put to sleep option rather than having to deal with pain but I also know if it was one of my friends or my family I would be worried that they wouldn't wake up again as I have a paranoia about that so then I'd tell them not to!

Don't think that helped! lol

Good luck tho Jono, hope it all goes well :D

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.

      They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.

      And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.

      I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.

      From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn

      Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.

      It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore.

      Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.

      His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
