Re: “He is the one who saved my liver and got me back to health and now is working on a different problem he saw in my colon.. Hopefully it is not cancer..”Before I forget... your colonoscopy is an OPERATION. You'll probably have some polyps (and who knows what the larger thing they've observed is), and they'll likely be surgically removed. While that's not usually dangerous, it CAN be. Check into the doctor assigned to you and make sure that he or she is not fresh out of school... or terribly old. Five to thirty years of experience would be great.

This second point is important:
Most big hospitals these days are teaching hospitals, and the doctor may intend to have somebody inexperienced do the work while he observes. My sister knows a man whose wife went in for a colonoscopy. A student removed a polyp found in the wife, and it turned out to be cancerous. He removed it incompetently. The cancer quickly spread throughout the woman's body and she soon died. That's what he told my sister, anyway, and I do think it's possible.

So take this precaution. Ask the doctor to do the OPERATION himself. He shouldn't mind. Not many patients make this request.

I am sorry to hear what She is missing out on. I have two close friends who are black and the nicest guys and family around. They aren't any different than me and enjoy the same things. They are however, educated, and well spoken with well behaved children who are now young adults.

An engineer I used to work with long ago named "Scotty", a nickname we gave him, his real name was James (Jim) and his last name was Scott, was one of the nicest people one could ever meet. He was a wonderful person.

Sometimes if folks would just take time to be courteous and get to know someone they would discover what they are really missing. Friendships that last a lifetime.. Now Scotty and I are just two old guys but not petrified like someone on this board..... We remain good friends.

My Liver Doctor is a black doctor who is twice as smart as I will ever be.. He is not originally born here in the U.S. but has become a U.S. citizen and is a
preeminent Gastroenterologist. He is the one who saved my liver and got me back to health and now is working on a different problem he saw in my colon.. Hopefully it is not cancer..
