In day Surgery recently at Broome Hospital I over heard the locum surgeon loudly telling a patient that they had found pollups when they did the colonoscopy, that these had been there for probably about 1.5 years and that it would not be unlikely for it to be cancer. They then told the patient they would call the patient's next of kin in to receive the information. This all happened in a public ward with seemingly numerous people in it separated by curtains.
