weird colonoscopy experience

Anonymous
I'm sitting there all prepped up waiting to be rolled into the room where they actually do the colonoscopy. They roll the woman out who just had a colonoscopy. She is still unconscious and her bottom is bare - exposed to the world - they haven't even bothered to cover her up even though she is entering a room where other patients (of both sexes) can potentially see her. Actually, not just patients, but also family members of patients can see her. Yuck!!

I found the whole experience rushed. They tried to give me my results and home care directions while I was lying on my back. I insisted that they wait until my sister was present.

Yuck - Endoscopic Surgery Centre of Maryland - I was not impressed.

Call the centre and let them know your concerns about your experience. I'm especially appalled by the exposure of the woman patient.

Did you just post about a swimmer with a ripped suit with her butt exposed?

Please call and talk to them. No one should be treated with so little discretion. That is the office where my dr. does procedures, and I am going to tell him what you said at my next visit!

Yes, this needs to be reported to the center.

Oh my God!

That is so awful. Poor woman!!

They probably think just because she is unconscious that it is no big deal. I disagree.

Yes, call the centre and report what you saw.

This should not happen to anyone.
