Colonoscopy

[miltonarmitage]

I don't trust doctors to prescribe cough syrup let alone give me a colonoscopy! I've heard some scary things about how unclean the instruments they use are. I'd try the less invasive test, not sure what it is but no colonoscopy for me! Unbelievable how stuck in the past medicine is, these doctors (crooks) just want your money.

I have had several, don't like them but because of family history and having had phlops removed  I have to be check every 3 years.  Just had it done  this year so it is over for  a while. I did not really like this doctor.  So will get a different one next time.  No bigger.

I haven't had a colonoscopy yet, but my doctor tells me every year that I need to have one.  In the meantime, he does a test in his office to test for blood in my stool.

If it's not broke don't fix it.

      The other way is "a feces sample test". The lab workers treat the sample with some chemicals and get some readings.
