When I had my colonoscopy done, the only problem was with "infiltration" from the IV. I ended up in "Urgent Care" over the following weekend, and the young doc there referred me to the older doc - who told me when he had his done that he had insisted on a local anesthetic. He told me that while you are under, they don't just "bend" the "hose" but that they bend you every which way to accomodate it - and that in this moving and bending, my IV'ed hand probably hit the rail on the bed - jarring it.

I wonder if they'll let ME, plain old civilian patient, insist on "local" NEXT time?
