Ok, what's this guys name??? We are all gonna go over and beat him up for the way he treated you Please tell me why ANY doctor would tell you that it's a horrible and painful test? Sounds to me he must not get good reimbursement from insurance or something and he doesn't want to do in on you for that reason! Ughhhh. I've been in the medical field for too long. It's starting to urk me more and more! It's normal to be scared about the colonoscopy. I'll be the first to say I don't want another one for a long time. The prep was bad and the pocedure...didn't feel a thing. As with any kind of surgery or procedure you have to sign stuff that if they screw up, they are not responsible. It's BS! They are just simply covering their butts! I hope all the posts have calmed you a bit. Good luck with the new doctor. I too, switched GI's from the original guy who did my colonoscopy. He had no bed side manners! In our state a lot of our practices have several docs in the office so I switched to another one in the same office and told him the reason I switched and I hope the word was passed on to him! Take care.
