As patient who has a requirement to have regular colonoscopies/sigmoidoscopies and has difficulties both psychologically with the procedure and with the discomfort that it causes, I found Miss McCarthy's approach to my situation extremely refreshing. Sadly, my previous colonoscopy with a different team was not a very positive experience so I was very apprehensive upon undertaking this one. However, Miss McCarthy and her team were friendly and reassuring, the conversation was light hearted and engaging and made me feel at ease. Miss McCarthy explained in great detail queries that I had about various aspects of the procedure. And used her expertise to help with the discomfort which including using water to help with the pain, something to my knowledge has not been done before on any of my previous colonoscopies. The procedure did not feel rushed and was went at a pace that I felt comfortable with. This was probably the best colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy experience that I can remember for a long time - I was even able to watch the procedure on the monitor, something that I can't normally do.. I am keen for Miss McCarthy to perform my next procedure and would not hesitate in recommending her to others.
