The audio recording appears to be a vlog of a person's experience undergoing a colonoscopy. The video begins with the person, likely a public figure or celebrity, discussing their decision to get a colonoscopy at the age of 50. They mention that they want to prioritize their health and are willing to share their experience with others.
During the procedure, the doctor, Dr. Stanford, explains the process and answers questions. The patient is given anesthesia and is not aware of the procedure. After the procedure, the doctor discusses the results, revealing that a precancerous polyp was found and removed.
The doctor explains that the polyp was pre-cancerous and that 95% of colon cancers arise from this type of polyp. The patient is fortunate to have caught it early, and the doctor commends them for being a compliant patient. The doctor also notes that African American men are at higher risk for colon cancer, particularly in the right colon.
The recording ends with the patient reflecting on the experience and the importance of prioritizing health. They express gratitude to their doctor and encourage others to get screened, emphasizing that health is our greatest wealth.
