All you boycotters make sure to boycott this

If you had a choice of putting a pill down your throat or having a probe stuck up your rear end, which would you prefer? Now, you have that choice. Given Imaging's pillcam, designed to replace colonoscopies, received FDA approval in August and was approved this week for sale in Japan. Here's a really neat video animation showing how it works.

Let's go to the videotape.



Some of you might recall that I had a colonoscopy over the summer. It was my 6th time going back to age 39 (ten years before the age at which Dad z"l was diagnosed with colorectal cancer). Maybe five years from now, when I have to have another one, God willing, I will have a choice.

But for all those who boycott Israeli products, please make sure to boycott this one. You deserve to have it the other way.
