My uncle had complications from that procedure and died of sepsis. Horrific way to go.
I had one , my first , last November here in Japan , done by a female doctor . . They found several polyps , one pre-cancerous , all removed . Did experience constipation for months after but now OK . Have another scheduled for September . Not looking forward to it , obviously .
Was that considered malpractice. I had a more distant cousin that didn’t die, but did have a bad result.
ugh and I have one coming up soon.
I have a friend who caught C.diff from an improperly cleaned colonoscope. That sidelined her for about a month. She was 40 and fit but C.diff is bad news. That stuff can kill you.
Another friend had some intestine die a week after having a polyp removed. The docs had been “curious” about the polyp. It sounds like they somehow managed to choke off a blood supply, although I never heard exactly what happened. The polyp wasn’t cancerous. This has left him with chronic IBS.
These were both at highly ranked SoCal hospitals in the OC.
I told my doc that I’ll just roll with the Cologuard option, thank you very much. It may not be 100% effective at spotting cancer, but it is 100% incapable of infecting me with C.diff, and it 100% can never ever mistakenly kill off a few feet of my intestines. He admitted that this is in fact true.
yep
my best friend died a slow miserable death after a bad colonoscopy
My last one. The doc seemed to be trying to kill me no joke
I had nurses pressing A towel to my abdomen cuz the jerk was trying to push straight instead of turning at the curves
I went into shock for a short while that lasted a few minutes after he finished
They wheeled me into a room for observation for about 15 minutes
Could this have been a prog or Muslim murder attempt ?
