I know it's surprising but you still see packs of kids between 5 and 10 running together unsupervised on the beaches, suburbs, and in the cities. And yes every year a few up dead accidently. The one eaten at Disney World by an alligator was more out of the ordinary than this story.Quote:

One of his chores was to get rid of the Armadillos living underneath the house. Those nasty creatures carry leprosy. LEPROSY !
Yeah, never understood the whole retire in the tropics thing; expose yourself to a shit ton of pathogens and parasites just when your immune system is in decline?!?!?? Obviously early onset dementia. The desert is much healthier.

Florida doctor who didn't wear hearing aids during colonoscopy couldn't hear patient yelling, state health officials say

Where the F was the anesthesiologist?!?!?
The Nurse probably got fired and this joker gets a light fine and suspension.Quote:

Nothing like going in for an ACL replacement and waking up with two painful knees.

There isn't an anesthesiologist during colonoscopy. The procedure is done with conscious sedation, ordered by the gastroenterologist. Typically the patient is semiawake, hopefully having little discomfort, and will have absolutely no memory of any of it.Quote:

Just last year, I had a crna and propofol for mine. It was dreamy, way better than being semi- conscious.Quote:

In fact a hospital can require it, not because it's medically necessary but for the fee. Also, if the procedure is done in a hospital instead of an outpatient center they can charge a lot more.
Sounds like Florida doc was doing it himself which would have been fine, if he wasn't deaf.
While I'm ranting about overcharging in medicine--in my kids Nevada hospital a trauma CT of torso and head could be done with one injection, one pass. New radiology group took over and now it's two injections, two scanner pass=double radiation, double fee.
Same for me. Can’t guarantee I wasn’t semi-conscious but forgot (because I would have forgotten), but that wasn’t how it was explained.Quote:

Now that you mention it, I think I've had mine done both ways, with and without an anesthesiologist. I've had a lot, they've all kind of blurred together. I do have memories of getting light and seeing my interior colon on the monitor, as well as trying to rip out my tube for an upper GI endoscopy/biopsy.Quote:

Then you should sue--it shouldn't be painful. See above.Quote:

Sad. Most stories from Florida are sad. But since the guy was from VT, it felt close to home.
