I was well looked after by the nursing team,. Unfortunately the endoscopist, took a super quick history, was quite dismissive of my symptoms, and rather rough with the rectal exam and endoscopy. They also didn't give me a chance to ask questions afterwards, and sent me off in a very brusque manner. They were chewing gum throughout the procedure. Two members of staff misgendered me during the procedure. I felt like they were more interested in taking pictures of my colon than treating me as a person. Glad to have had an efficiently made appointment with good communication and care from the nursing team, but disappointed with the manner and behaviour of the endoscopists.
I would like to give a special thank you to two members of staff for looking after me so well, and for a very quick and painless cannulation.
