Colonoscopy Perforation [Handwritten Patient Notes]
Case #214
A 53-year-old man underwent a screening colonoscopy by Dr. S.
The prep was poor and Dr. S had difficulty seeing, but was able to identify 4 polyps that were removed.
In the PACU, the nurses documented 0/10 abdominal pain.
When his friends came to pick him, they felt he was in too much pain.
They were given reassurance and the patient was sent home.
