The colon is pretty unsterile environment to begin with. That being said, it is a sad state of affairs for the medical facility to do an invasive procedure without sterilization. And they want the government to reform Health Care? The VA is the government....Lord Help us!

A HUGE number of really bad doctors and nurses end up at the VA. We should get rid of ALL the VA hospitals and give insurance to veterans who have none or veterans with service related injuries/illnesses so they can seek care that is LOCAL to them and with a doctor they know and trust.

Government health care: It Works!
A friend of mine was being treated at his local VA. He was seriously ill. They would regularly send him home, mis-medicate him, etc. They misdiagnosed him and eventually he died of a curable disease.
That we would treat our veterans so despicably does not bode well for national health care. In this case: nothing is better than something (from government).

Don't Poo-Poo Technique: Fecal Transplant Can Cure Superbug, Doctors Say
More than 90 per cent of C. difficile patients are cured by fecal transplants, studies suggest
Last Updated: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 | 12:17 PM ET CBC News
A controversial new treatment, which involves the transplantation of human waste, can treat cases of C. difficile infection. But only a handful of physicians in Canada undertake the messy procedure.
Clostridium difficile is a superbug that commonly spreads in hospital settings and has been linked to the deaths of at least 2,000 people in Quebec since 2003, as well as in other provinces.
Though C. difficile can be kept in check by good bacteria in the bowel, problems can arise when the superbug is treated by antibiotics such as vancomycin. The antibiotics sometimes wipe out the good bacteria but fail to completely kill the C. difficile leaving enough of it that it later flourishes.

You can't sue the government for inadequate care like you can a private hospital so there's no reason for them to treat you with respect.

Actually that kind of scope is often not sterilized.It is deconed then undergoes high level sanitizing,one level below sterilization.Those scopes are delicate instruments and if they underwent certain forms of sterilization they could be damaged and as long as they come into contact with intact mucus membranes they are, technically, not required to be sterilized.Any Sterile Processing Techs out there?Tell me,do they still use Gluteraldehyde, or have they switched to something else?Even if they didn`t sanitize them,wouldn`t the standard use of washer/sanitizers reduce the risk?Are they used on colonoscopes?
