Car woes, bummer bummer bummer!

Thanks. For a Ford, the SHO has been remarkably free from problems. The 'sloshing' fuel tank and the crappy original fuel pump were replaced under warranty. Other than that, and some modifications just for the improvement, haven't had anything wrong in over 85K miles (which is low mileage for a 94).
This is gonna be about as bad as the colonoscopy I have coming up. Heck, I'm sure that's an 'exit only'!

Hey Bully,
Count yourself lucky, in a way. Though my healthcare is dirt cheap, the Korean doctors are absolute disbelievers in pain control.
I had a rectal polyp removed with no prep but some kind of muscle relaxer. And no, it wasn't Valium. It is some kind of new-fangled shit guaranteed not to get you high. (Hell, getting high is 90% of the reason that the crap even works as a sedative!)
And the barium and compressed air enema they gave me TO FIND the polyp caused me to black out 3 times.
I tell you, if I'm ever put in charge of a torture chamber forget the hot tongs and thumbscrews, just give me an air compressor and a hose to stick in people's asses. I'll have them talking in minutes.
Just 3 days ago, I had an inguinal abscess lanced and drained, no Lidocaine, nothing.
Cuss?
Stifled screaming?
Gritted teeth?
White knuckled grip on the table frame?
You better believe it.
The doctor even waved the scalpel in my face before he used it. (Not MERELY because he was sadistic, but because he couldn't explain in English that he was ready to slice me and that I should hold my big White ass still unless I wanted to sing in a boy's choir.)
I've heard that talking about medical problems is a sign of old age. Do you think if I shut up now that I'll get any younger?
