Perhaps my ordeal was an isolated suboptimal experience. If so, then having that explained to me at some point during my hour-plus of misery would have been helpful.
It does help to recall the few positives. I’m glad that the initial consultation with Dr. X was enjoyable. And I am grateful to the nurse who got my IV started in one stick.
I’m also delighted to know that I won’t need another colonoscopy for 10 years.
