Posted by MattC on 9/7/2005, 6:15 pm, in reply to "Re: Colonoscopy-awake throughout procedure!" Thus my point about the entire medical field being liars, I know there are exceptions but I've found it useful to assume a doctor is BSing me anytime they use any variation of the old " This won't hurt a bit" That phrase gets my BS detector buzzing every time. By the way My opinion of the medical field didn't just happen, it comes from experience. You have to be very careful before you trust these people. Too often the comfort of the patient is simply not a concern.

You said "The Dr. should be up front with patients about this and tell that patients that they would be given pain relief as needed."
