Story from nhs.uk

"colorectal"

About: Royal United Hospital

The colonoscopy was conducted is a slapdash manner, my feelings and preferences were ignored, I was not treated as a person just a piece of meat. To be asked in all seriousness whether I could be 12 weeks pregnant and if I had been scuba diving during the last 7 days was inappropriate as I am 78 years of age.

I eventually got my results in late September having telephoned several times and made a complaint to PALS
