A recent superbly managed visit to a gastroenterology unit in Tiverton reminded me of an occasion in 2017 when I had an appointment for a colonoscopy at the RD&E Hospital in Exeter.
It was a Saturday morning and the procedure was to be undertaken by Rob Bethune. A previous colonoscopy three years earlier had been excellently performed at the same hospital, so I felt confident all would be well.
However, Rob Bethune’s manner was perfunctory and graceless, making me apprehensive. With the curtest of preliminaries he embarked upon the procedure which, despite sedation and gas and air, had me howling uncontrollably with discomfort and pain. I recall it as being only surpassed by the experience of childbirth. He continued despite this, and at no point was I offered an opportunity to terminate the procedure. When it was over, he said ‘Well done’.
An unforgettable experience.
