Traumatised

I had my first and last colonoscopy today . I asked to have a strong sedation with entinox because I had a traumatic experience as a child. So feel anxious with anyone being near my privates. Dr brushed it off, then was very rough with me , I screamed out in pain but he wouldn't stop, and the nurse was holding me down ... I felt violated.. and will be taking this further. Sedation never worked, they wouldn't give me entinox telling me it's almost over. !! It was rushed , done in 5 minutes. They told me it would be 30 minutes, and took 4 biopsies! Disgusting treatment. I'll be speaking to my solicitor

  • Welcome to the forum Neveragain although I'm so sorry you had such an unpleasant experience during your colonoscopy.

    Do speak to the Hospital and let them know of your concerns. There is more information about how to complain just here: www.england.nhs.uk/.../ 

    I hope you don’t have to wait too long for your results and that you have a good outcome.

    Kind regards,
