Medical Transcription
I am currently in college majoring in medical transcription. In our sample reports that we have to type up, I have come across a report that talks of a patient being sedated with Versed and Demerol for a colonoscopy of the Cecum. It says he was "sedated" intravenously and they put a lubricated camera scope where the sun doesnt shine. In the post op, the patient complains of extreme pain upon insertion and painful sensations when the camera shifted around his colon because the doctor didn't take the appropriate cautions. Yet, in the origional operative report, the doctor says that "the patient tolerated the procedure well." I, Personally, think this is kind of scary. The doctor seemed like they didn't care. The doctor obviously thought that he wouldn't know or remember if he did know, yet when he woke up and the effects of the drug wore off, he remembered all of the painful experiences. - Just a little extra brain food to back your theory up.
