Don't remember if this was posted last summer.
Anyway, it's a pretty good Big Mo thread.

it seems that the explosion in cancer screening colonoscopies has led to a stripped down version. lower anesthesia
i was due for screening, tho should have been asked anyway. i had bad breakthough pain my last 2, and that would have led to the higher level anyway. but they didn't ask.
i did, tho, get much sicker waiting for what was really ordered to address some current and serious issues. they should have noted this, as i tried to get seen before the test. and i also came in, unable to finish my prep, dehydrated, laying in a room on an iv all morning.
then i ended up being the last test of the day, tho this docs first, the anesthesia team having left, leaving me with- this is going to cause "serious discomfort", or go through this again another day.
holy moly hells bells.
i lived, but got a feeling that doc will never be the same. i did, however, resist kicking a nurse. not their fault.

2. no versed.
this was 2 injections and you are awake watching the roller coaster.
it took both nurses to hold me down.
When you're put under general anesthesia you always have to bring someone along to drive you home.
Big Mo is at war with everyone she's ever met. Who would drive?
Pity the cab driver. Of course it's Chicago, so unlikely he speaks English.

3. and of course, all that for nothing.
this started 20 freakin years ago. that level of pain, and they see nothing happening.
she is chalking it up to "past nsaid use", although, a- this started way before i ever took any pain meds routinely and b-i never really used them that heavily, anyway. i have been for the last 6 months, but things were well and truly out of control before that.
no advice beyond having another scope in 5 years, this time with "monitored anesthesia care". yeah, that sounds like a good idea. so how come you did it without that this time. honestly, i am thinking this is the last time i do this. if i dont have a tumor now, i dont think one can catch up to me now. i am 60 yo. and obviously whatever is going on is not showing up on your tests, so i say bump this shit.
what an ass.

5. thanks. i do concur with her that nsaids were inflaming things.
but they are not the root cause. but **** it.
so, but them back, and feeling mostly better. having carpal tunnel soon, which will alleviate a lot of the need. gonna try a couple other hits on some nerve problems if i have to drag the docs by the hair.
if i can keep my neck quiet, i can function pretty well. nice not to have a flaming right arm. gonna keep it that way.
best to you, and thanks again.

8. i had a lot of drugs, just not all the way out.
have since learned that tho i was told they needed an anesthesiologist (md) to be put all the way out, that this was just a rule in the hospital. have a friend, who is a nurse anesthetist, who told me that it is a boy s club at this hospital, and that is the ONLY reason for the rule.
previous 2 i had i had breakthrough pain that woke me up.
doc didnt even know till i told her that i was there because i was sick.
yeah, fun times. for the boys club.

Were they looking for his head when they found it during the colonoscopy or was that just a byproduct of the examination?

Big Mo is a she, but if you've ever seen a picture of it, I can understand where the confusion may have come in.

What I heard was the doctor thought he found a tumor but it turned out to be Mopinko's head.

When dealing with dummies one can never be sure. :cheersmate:

I wonder... did he leave it there or pull it out? If I had to bet money on it, I'd say he left it there. :lmao:

Well, the only one who can be sure is the doctor who administered the colonoscopy on Big Mo, and according to Big Mo herself, he won't ever be the same.

DUmmies talking their own colonoscopy. Too much information.
-
Mo didn't really need a colonoscopy. She misunderstood the doctor.
What really happened was, she was waiting in the exam room when the doctor, who was talking to a gastroenterologist, said, "Would you just look at that asshole?"

Half the DUmmies try and schedule them weekly.

Compost, it's what's for dinner.

I would have thought that most DUers would refuse anesthesia because they want to enjoy the whole experience.

Hey, Mo. Is there some illness or condition that prevents one from ever using a shift key? If there is, tell your doctor because you have that.

I'll bet that can be rolled into an SSDI claim.

Well, I hope the doctor would have removed it. It would be a violation of his hypocratic oath to leave such a large mass of diseased tissue in a patient. That goes for the tumor as well.
