I WANT to have my first one this spring or summer but the staff at my doctor's office are giving me all kinds of grief.
They tried to tell me I couldn't go to the hospital where I wanted to have it done because they are in cahoots with the local hospital which is right next door.
I priced out each hospital in the 30 mile radius of where I live (I'm going to be paying out of pocket) and the one I found to be the most affordable is also a very reputable hosp, unlike the one next to my Dr office.
Anyway, I call my doc and ask for a referal, and they ask if I'm having symptoms, blah blah blah?... Well I guess being 55 and never yet had a colonoscopy, there's no rush
I had a scheduled anual chech-up scheduled for July, but I told them I'd like to get the ball rolling a little sooner, and they are more worried about keeping the doctors at the local hospital supplied with kick backs.
Sorry for the rant.
