after having a well being examination at the nuffeild hospital, it was highlighted that after a rectal probe a polyp was found, and after blood test n featal test blood was found in my samples, it was suggested by the doctor to refer me to bournemouth hospital....i prefferred to see my own doctor first, after an appointment , and more blood tests, he referred me to bournemouth hospital, at the said appointment i was quizzed on why i felt the need for an endoscopic procedure, asked if i had any family history of bowel cancer, or had recently lost any significant weight loss, after explaining , to the doctor , my wellbeing examination , and the suggested concern of a finding of a polyp, he did a rectal examination, it was a far more uncomfortable examination , and seemed more of an imposition on behalf of the doctor, he informed me that he found nothing,untoward, but if i felt the need to have an endoscopic exam he would refer me for one, again i was made to feel i was wasting his time ,i attended the dept and handed my form to the lovely receptionist, and went away confused, and doubting, the whole need for the procedure, after my visit with the bournemouth hospital doctor
