Most people do not put off a colonoscopy because they think it is unimportant. They put it off because it sounds awkward, embarrassing, and mildly terrifying.
Jordan Bundy did exactly that.
After avoiding the screening for two years, he finally booked the appointment and discovered what many people eventually learn: the fear is often worse than the procedure.
My First Colonoscopy is a funny, honest, and surprisingly reassuring account of the whole experience, from the doctor's referral and clear-liquid day to the prep drink, hospital gown, procedure, recovery, and relief afterward.
Yes, the prep is unpleasant. Yes, the situation is ridiculous. And yes, there are bathroom trips.
But this is not just a book of bathroom jokes.
It is a relatable story for anyone nervous about their first colonoscopy, anyone trying to convince a spouse, parent, or friend to stop putting it off, or anyone who appreciates dry humor about the less glamorous parts of getting older.
Written with sharp humor and real-life detail, this short book turns an uncomfortable medical milestone into something human, approachable, and far less intimidating than expected.
