Re: Back from colonoscopy

[Guest guest]

Kem,

I have had that happen to me (sort of...I don't remember the respect thing

being an issue though.) I *do* remember talking to my surgeon and others in the

room. Actually, that was a GOOD surgery (I had a neuroma removed from my foot.)

With great recovery.

I do remember waking up and saying " hey move it to the right " ...or something

to that affect. He said... " Oh. " and did it and laughed, as someone else was

saying, " OMG, she is awake ALREADY! " Then the doc said something like, weird how

intuitive patients can be when under or something. Then someone started talking

to me...and I remember telling them all jokes and they laughed through the whole

thing. I was told later in the recovery room that I was one of the best

patients they had ever had!

So...I think it is good for you to talk to the hospital. But you also need to

talk to the surgeon...as s/he usually has certain people that work WITH them.

And yes, you are right...he does need to learn some manners. But seriously,

talk to the surgeon. Perhaps he already did talk to the anesthesiologist. At

least you made the surgeon laugh. He make get a dropped chin, when he realizes

you REMEMBER....

Let us know.

so I grabbed the cloth from my face, threw it on the floor and told him he was

the one that needed to be quiet and that I had every right to watch this since

it was my own ass on a screen right in front of my face! I heard the doctor

laugh.

Can you believe this? I couldn't. Prior to leaving I complained to the nurse and

told her if he wants his patients so out of it that they sleep then he needs to

give them more medication, until then he needs some dang manners!

Trust you mean 20 MM, not 20CM. 20MM is about 3/4 of an inch across.

20CM is about 8 inches across...and think you would have known if

something THAT big was in there.

cheers
