Instead of a Colonoscopy For Some

I don't know if they use this thing, which doesn't have a name in English, in other places. The "kit" has Hebrew, Arabic and Russian, only.


This is how I described it to some friends:
 I did do that non-invasive colon thing. Call it the sh#t stick? In Leumit (the healthcare fund I'm in) if you're low risk you don't do a colonoscopy. You get a flushable paper to put in the toilet and make on it. Then you stick in the tip of a magic wand and screw the wand in a special jar, take it to the nurse who puts the wand in some magic stuff, and it tells if there's trace blood. If there is then the colonoscopy. B"H I'm ok.
Do they offer it in other parts of the world?
