"Colonoscopy"

About: The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn, NHS Foundation Trust

I am 69 and had a colonoscopy test on 6 September 2017.

The Sister and their staff looked after me exceptionally well and I felt privileged to be under their care and attention throughout the procedure and during my time at the QE2.

I could not have any sedation because no-one was at home to look after me following discharge.

I was fully conscious throughout and the pain was much less than expected.

(My technique with gas and air was not the best despite expert tuition!).

The doctor who carried out the survey was considerate, thorough and very professional.

Thank you to everyone who helped me on the day including your volunteer reception staff..

I felt very fortunate to be treated there and everything was completed in just over two hours.

Tony Kenber.

Thank you for posting your comments about your recent experience undergoing a procedure in the Endoscopy Unit. It is not a pleasant prospect to have one of these examinations and I am pleased that you found the procedure less daunting than you thought at first and that all the staff provided you with the care and support that you needed. I will share your comments with the team on the Endoscopy Unit and I am sure they will be pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience. I do hope that the procedure was successful and that you are now fully recovered.
