My experience trying to get a colonoscopy
My experience trying to get a colonoscopyI am long on TSO and I am very seriously under water.
I am in the process of trying to arrange for a colonoscopy in Toronto. One of my objectivies to to protect my safety by arranging for the scope to be sterilised.
My doc is associated with one of the downtown hospitals in the University Hospital Network. He referred me to a gastroenterologist at Mount Sinai. The GI has never heard of VP4 , any of the health issues or the litigation in the US. I spoke to a doctor friend at St. Mikes. They were also unaware of VP$ or any of the other issues. I spoke to my brother-in -law who is a Houston gastroenterologist. He was unaware of VP4 or any of the issues,
After some research I found out that Credit Valley Hospitasl sterilises its scopes. Thinking that they used the VP4, I arranged for an appointment. When I asked the gastroenterolofist about sterisation, he clained that they had a state of the art Steris system. I have made an appointement with him for the colonoscopy.
As a TOS shareholder, I am very concerned. I have not been able to find a hospital in Toronto who uses VP4. I even emailed TOS and asked them to provide me with a name of a Toronto hospital. TOS did not reply to my email. There seems to be virtually no knowledge of the VP4 among docs. in Toronto. TOS marketing in Toronto is abysmal.
