.... from 1978 until approximately 1986, and routine exams since, I have gone through more colonoscopies than I can remember. I have always been given a mild relaxant in order to tolerate discomfort, but not one single time have I ever been put under for this procedure. During my last couple of routine procedures, and being over 65 years old, my somewhat excessive weight was never a consideration in breaking that routine. I believe that if I was family, I would be consulting a lawyer.
