laryngoscopy

i went to see the ENT doc today and he did a laryngoscopy on me.  it wasn't the most comfortable experience for me but i survived it.  it was done without any anesthetic.

in the beginning, i did have some concerns about pain and asked about local anesthetic but was told that the anesthetic would only cloud his view of what's going on.

it was a strange feeling having the scope inserted up through my nose and down in my throat.  while the scope was hanging in my throat, i was made to say "eeeeeee".  the procedure didn't take long and i sure was glad when it was over.
