Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Corps of Discovery crossed the North American continent from 1804 to 1806, traveling from St. Louis, Missouri to the Pacific coast and back.
Now they want me to undrego a colonoscopy in three weeks to rule out any problems in the large bowel but the problem with this is they have to stop the plavix and aspirin for five days prior to the procedure which I think is taking a risk from all the stuff I have been reading. My questions are:
How long does a colonoscopy take is usually around 30 minutes, but the span may extend if polyp is discovered and removed. Before the start of operation the patient is provided with painkilling drug (Normally via vein) to make the patient comfortable and drowsy in-between the operation.
