Wed Jun 18, 2014, 11:16 AMStar Member mopinko (42,784 posts) it seems that the explosion in cancer screening colonoscopies has led to a stripped down version. lower anesthesiai 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.

Sun Jun 22, 2014, 10:26 AMStar Member mopinko (42,784 posts) 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.

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.
holy moly hells bells.i lived, but got a feeling that doc will never be the same
DUmmies talking their own colonoscopy. Too much information.
Half the DUmmies try and schedule them weekly.

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.
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.
