Had colonoscopy last week, this was done privately, I asked for more sedation during the procedure as it became painfully I was reduced to tears at the distal transverse colon (where the procedure stopped) but was told NO! I was fully aware and watched what was happening on the screens, at the start I had been given 2mg Midazolam, 100mcg fentanyl and gas & air having told them at the start that gas & air did nothing for me having not used it thought child birth either! I check NHS website when home which said I could have been given more. I am extremely disappointed to have endured the anxiety, indignity and be refused more sedation. The doctor was fully aware that I have been experiencing stomach pain for months so my abdomen was sore. I am physically small and slim. I was told by the nursing team that usually patients don't remember anything, this experience would stop me having this done again.
