I was called for a colonoscopy procedure on last week at 3.30 pm and found the whole experience quite traumatic. Having been through this procedure 2yrs or so before I was not at all apprehensive to return. Unfortunately this will not be the case for the future. I was very aware of all that was going and found the whole procedure uncomfortable and sore and would certainly not be happy to return unless I was given absolute assurance this would not happen again. My first experience was much more pleasant hence the reason for returning quite happily.
What could be improved? More information beforehand regarding anaesthetic.
