...into his colon a tube with a wire snare attached to remove the polyp they knew about, and an optical device to allow close examination of the intestine. The second polyp they discovered was too large (about the size of a baby's finger) to be removed in that manner; all they could do then was scrape off some cells from the polyp's periphery for a biopsy. Though Reagan was conscious, he knew none of this at the time. By 3:20 p.m. he was being wheeled to a recovery room, Nancy walking alongside, and assayed a one-liner...
