Wow again.
1 in 500 . . wow.
I'm glad you have an attorney on this -- from your very first post of Kathryn's problem I was PO'd. (I have my own experience of a surgeon /hospital putting me close to death.)
Anyway... Colonoscopies are one of many big money makers for hospitals.
For the most part hospitals can't do too much for you. They can do a lot TOO you. But really, if your body starts down the really-wrong path chances are medicine isn't going to put you back. Sure, we hear about success stories . . .people who live. But who speaks for those who die? Those stories tend to fade. --I know I've witnessed disgusting (criminal?) hospital care, and I don't like even thinking about it.
"1 in 500" Wow!
