Nurse
Hello Good morning, I am Narso Andrew the nurse who will be assisting you here today, for verification may I know your name, please?
Patient
My name is Patricia.
Nurse
Patricia Could you please confirm the reason for your today’s appointment?
Patient
Yes, I am scheduled for Colonoscopy..
Nurse
Thank you for your confirmation. Do you have any concerns about the procedure?
Patient
Yes, I really wonder what is the function of the procedure.
Nurse
No problem patricia. I will explain it to you. A Colonoscopy is a medical procedure, that involves inserting a thin flexible tube with a camera, to check the health of the colon and rectum.. Doctors can identify and diagnose conditions like colon polyps, colon cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. This procedure is safe and effective for detecting these issues.
Nurse
Additionally, the non compete can help in planning surgeries, or treatments if any problems are found. Overall, it plays a crucial role in the early detection and management of various colorectal health issues.
Patient
Okay nurse, How the procedure is done here?
Nurse
Let me explain how the procedure is performed. A colonoscopy is a test, that allows the doctor to see inside of your colon and rectum using a thin, flexible tube with a camera at the end. The tube is called a col in the scope, and it is inserted through your anus, and gently moved along your bowel. The camera sends images to a monitor for the doctor to watch
Nurse
This way the doctor can check for any problems or changes in your bowel. A colonoscopy can help diagnose these conditions, and also treat them by taking samples or removing polyps during the test.
Patient
Well nurse I’m a little nervous. I’ve heard that it can be uncomfortable.
Nurse
I understand your concerns. A colonoscopy is a very safe and effective procedure. But it is normal to feel a little nervous. I can assure you that we will do everything we can to make the process as comfortable as possible.
Patient
All right, nurse.
Nurse
So let me explain what to expect during the colonoscopy procedure. First, you will be given a sedative to help you relax and make the procedure more comfortable. Then a scope will be inserted into your rectum and advance up the colon. The camera will allow us to see inside of your colon, and rectum and look for any abnormalities.
Patient
Okay I got it. By the way nurse Is it really necessary to have the procedure?
Nurse
Patricia, I understand why you asked me this question. I can understand what you are going through. I would like to talk to you about the importance of the colonoscopy procedure. Colonoscopy can help us to diagnose gastrointestinal conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, and diverticulosis. During a colonoscopy we can look for polyps which are pre-cancerous growths. If we find any polyps we can remove them during the procedure, which prevents them from developing into cancer.
Nurse
So as you can see colonoscopy is a very important test for early detection, and treatment of a variety of gastrointestinal conditions.
Patient
Yes nurse I got it.
Nurse
Patricia colonoscopy is a very important test for early detection of colon cancer. Colon cancer is a very treatable disease when detected early, but it can be deadly if detected late. In addition, colonoscopy is very accurate and reliable procedure. The risks of colonoscopy are very low and the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Patient
Okay. I understand the importance.
Nurse
Patricia, if you have any questions or concerns about colonoscopy please do not hesitate to ask me. I am here to help you to understand the procedure, and make sure that you are comfortable with it.
Patient
Sure I will nurse.
Nurse
So Patricia, do you have any other questions or concerns?
Patient
No, I think that’s all great.
Nurse
