Thats nice, having a cord up your rear, to check for polyops, but to learn that germs and doo doo is still on it from somebody else. You sure have confidence on your colon health.!! That's really nice!!

UGH! That's why it's up to you as a patient to look at everything, check it, question it, and asked that it be changed.

There's a certain age when you're suppose to get a colonoscopy!! What age is that!!

Technically a first screening is supposed to be at age 50. But some have had it done between the ages of 40-50.

My grandmother and my aunt's fiancee (52 yrs old) both died from colon cancer..it's no joke. If found early, it is a very curable cancer. If not, its as deadly as all other cancers.

Let Me Put It To You Like This, The Hospital Fuked Up Super Big Time.
Equipment Like This Is Supposed To Be Cleaned Properly And Sanitized And Then Sterilzed. Obviously The People Who Were Supposed To Clean This Machine Did Not Get The Appropriate Training. It's Supposed To Sit In A Solution That Kills Bacteria Scrubbed To Make Sure That There Is Nothing On It And Then You Sterilize It In The Autoclave.

The Hospital Has To By Law Give Them Free Testing For Hiv, Hepatitis And Any Thing Else. And It Is Important For Everyone To Make That Split Second Decision If They Are Going To Take The Hiv Medicine Because It Is Crucial When First Exposed To It. Studies Have Shown That If You Take The Medication It Stops Your Body From Breaking Down It's Own Immune System.

Unfortunately That Equipment Is Not Disposable. So It Is Their Job To Do It Right! Assholes. How Dare They Expose People To Disease. Thats A No No.
