Federal and State Recording Laws. The U.S. and the states have their own laws governing the legality of surreptitious recording of oral, telephonic, and other communications. A personâs secret taping of a conversation is governed by the laws of the state in which she is making the recording unless the federal law is more protective of privacy.
A screening colonoscopy is a service performed on an asymptomatic person for the purpose of testing for the presence of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps. Whether a polyp or cancer is ultimately found does not change the screening intent of that procedure.
A colonoscopy is similar to a sigmoidoscopy, but a longer flexible viewing tube called a colonoscope is used to examine the entire colon and (if necessary) the lower portion of the small intestine. It is typically performed to detect colorectal cancer and to determine the causes of rectal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation, or abdominal pain.
