"Endoscopy."

About: Lincoln County Hospital / General surgery

Last year went for an Endoscopy at Lincoln hospital.

I would never want to go there again for an Endoscopy.

Having had two endoscopic done a few years ago elsewhere,I am aware of the procedures.

I had requested that I was sedated for procedure.

Not just the spray.

That did not happen. The person doing endoscopy sprayed into my mouth ,it was hit and miss aim,as discovered when the endoscopy was taking place.

,The spray covered lower tounge area but when camera went in the upper area had not been covered by spray so was feeling the whole procedu in the uppera area, tbat in turn me to to reach and also jerk reaction.

So no thanks to Lincoln endoscopy in Lincoln hospital.

Nobody Im sure looks forward to endoscopy but how it's done and by who clearly is the most important factor as I know only too well after this horrible experience there.
