I went in for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I told them I would have to do the cleanout process in the hospital and was scheduled to go in at 3 p.m. the day before the procedure, which was at 8 a.m. the next morning. The nurse started the procedure before she got off shift with the first drink and said that the next nurse would continue with the procedure. The nurse for the overnight shift did *nothing.* The doctor doing the procedure was very irate first thing in the morning when he found out that I hadn't been cleaned out. I was not happy. I then started drinking the drinks and getting the clean out process over with for my procedure at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Thank goodness the nurse that came on for the day shift was excellent and kept changing me when need be. The procedure was a piece of cake, as they medicate you and at least for me I didn't feel a thing.(ha ha) It never fails, it seems like every time I go in the hospital something doesn't go right. As long as you get through the cleanout procedure and it is done correctly, you should be fine. Good luck -- Maria
