Recently I was on a diet for a colonoscopy. The following day no food only pico prep. Early the next morning I went to Collie Hospital to have colonoscopy. At 10am I was told I had a blockage, and to go to Bunbury Regional Hospital for a CT colonoscopy at 11am. On arrival I was gowned and told to wait. At 1:40pm I was taken into x-ray room and for over an hour they tried to pump gas up my anus unsuccessfully. Finally they got another technician in to help. After trying again, they realised the gas cylinder was empty. I believe they didn't know how to get another. So at 3:00pm I was told to do back home, and they would call me back another day. I will have to fast and pico prep all over again. Also I had a bung in my hand from the morning. I asked if they could take it out, they said no go back to Collie Hospital to get it removed. I am still worried about the blockage in my body. And am very upset about my lack of treatment. I arrived back home at 4:15pm very upset and frustrated.
