[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see people on my local Reddit every so often begging for someone on the board to be their colonoscopy companion. What they don't realize (it's their first colonoscopy) is that the person who is your companion will be responsible for getting you out of your hospital gown and back into your clothes, because you'll be a bit out of it. You're aware, but weak and need some help. I'm almost 60, and this is what our society that is all "you don't need anyone, you don't need a spouse of family, only yourself" screws you over.[/quote]

This is so fake I don’t even know where to start. Especially post-Covid, they don’t want the patient’s support people around more than absolutely needed. My husband had a colonoscopy in 2024 at Inova Alexandria and I dropped him off and picked him up from the car, I didn’t get out at all. The staff handled everything and brought him out to the car drop-off area when he was done. I could have been an Uber for all they knew. I had outpatient surgery at Inova Fairfax last year and it was the same thing. My husband came in with me and got me signed in then left to get some work done at home. When I was finally done, he came and picked me up, again, outside (didn’t even need to come in) - the nurse brought me outside to the car pickup area and we even got my prescriptions from someone bringing them out to the car.

OP no one is going to see you nude other than the doctors/nurses. Lots of people have their parents or adult children bring them for procedures or a friend or neighbor. [/quote]
