In the end I had it done with just the freezing spray.
The girl found where I was bleeding from, and took some biopsies. Now the wait to see the consultant, which could take a good few weeks.
It was horrendous, (probably my own fault for being so stressed about it) but at least we now know why I am so flipping anaemic.
Sqad nurse consultants do endoscopies quite often now. So it's not always a medic. TBH from some doctors that I have worked with the cleaner would be a better bet.
Eccles.....I never knew ANY Drs who introduced themselves to the patient by their christian name.....that must be something recent and if so, then these Drs get what they deserve.
getting back to the OP.....Dr or the doctors christian name would have been better than the "girl."
Maybe the OP didn't know the status of the person performing the endoscopy. As said, these days people tend to introduce themselves by just their name.
