This must be the season for colonoscopies. I'll be seeing a gastro on
Tuesday and will probably be scheduled then.
About ten years ago he found a polyp and removed it. Had I not had the
colonoscopy then, I most likely wouldn't be here today; having died a
protracted and painful death.
I'm overdue for this one due to having had kidney surgery, but since I
haven't had anymore polyps since the first one was removed, there is reason
to be optimistic.

I have to prep starting on Sunday. He said I could wait until Monday
morning, but I am off all that week so I figure I'll start a little bit
ahead so I'm nice and clean inside. I was asking about his ADR percentage,
which he said was in the high teens. He prefaced it by stating that this
measurement can be skewed by patients who don't prep properly or with
enough time, so it's not an absolute when you come to comparing doctors.
In fact, he said that it's not beyond him to start and see that someone
hasn't prepped well and stop the procedure, something he said that other
doctors might not do. He said that he's had more than one patient who he
has told to reschedule the procedure if they're not "clean" because they
"cheated" when it came to the prep.
I picked this guy carefully. I wanted someone who had privileges at Tampa
General, the leading teaching hospital in the area. In the part of town I
live in, all the local practitioners go to a smaller suburban hospital
that has a less than stellar reputation. He only schedules two patients
an hour, so I had a good 20 minutes (or more if I wanted it) to speak with
him.

That works.
I set it up for the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I figure that will
give me lots of room for Thanksgiving gluttony.
I've been through it and found it not too bad. Some people have problems
with the prep.
