Up my nose and down my throat

So today I had the pleasant experience of having a fibre optic camera rammed up my nose to look at my throat. Why I couldn't just open my mouth and say 'ahhh' is beyond me.
To explain, I am unfortunate enough to suffer from fairly bad snoring and as a result my wife nagged me to go to the doctor who told me I was fat, but also referred me to a specialist sleep clinic. so the date finally arrived that I had to go to Charing Cross hospital. the day started fine until someone decided to attempt suicide infront of a train at the station i needed to get off at (very inconsiderate) but i eventually got through and got off at the next station with a longer walk facing me but the exercise is good for me. so when i eventually had the appointment the doctor said he wanted to look down my thoat, and got out a camera with a little light on the end seeing the size of it i presumed it would be going down my throat so leaned my head back and opened my mouth. At this point the Dr had a litle chuckle and explained it would be going up my nose to look at my throat. I asked him if it was going to hurt and he paused for a minute and then said 'well.... its not going to be confortable'. And he wasn't lying. He lubed it up with ky jelly and went up, and to say that i couldn't feel would be a lie. from the second it entered I felt it all the way in until it was just below my adams apple at which point I gagged and nearly threw up on the doc if it wasn't that I had a camera up my nose and down my throat I may have found this amusing. After the appointment for about the next 2 hours all I could smell was ky jelly and seemed to have a constant dribble emerging from my nose. The camera that was used was quite scary to see and leaves me thinking that i must have a huge nose for it to have fit in there.
