Vidar's medical threat

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Vidar brings in a letter from a hospital, confirming an appointment that he has scheduled for Bård, to undergo a prostate exam and colonoscopy. After Bård reads the letter out loud, Vidar calls the doctor on his phone, and begins a conversation with him (pretending to be Bård), before handing the phone over to Bård himself. The doctor says that he'd been thinking about calling Bård because of some pictures that Vidar (as Bård) had sent him, which had given him reason to want to expedite the appointment. The doctor seems very concerned about the 'large protrusions' depicted in the photos, and asks whether Bård is able to perform normal bowel movements. Bård dodges that question, but asks the doctor whether prostate exams can actually feel quite good, as he'd heard from friends. The doctor reassures him that he would receive anaesthesia, and that the biopsy would be taken transperineally, rather than rectally, to reduce the risk of infection. Bård passes the phone back to Vidar, who ends the call. It seems that Vidar had found the pictures that he shared with the doctor online. Bård clarifies that the threat, then, is the prospect of undergoing invasive and embarrassing procedures at the 'butt-doctor'. He notes that it is the most creative solution to the task, but that he doesn't feel the threat. He also points out that, since Vidar is paying for it, the appointment is actually more of a gift. Vidar therefore earns last place.
