MISC. A Virginia man inadvertently left his phone recording while he was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy, which captured audio of the doctors: mocking him, instructing a medical assistant to lie to him, and discussing giving him a false diagnosis of hemorrhoids. In 2015, a jury awarded him $500,000.

Did they give you other testing to find out what it could be? It seems like this would be a rule out situation. IBS, ulcers, Crones, food allergies, etc. You shouldn’t have to suffer.

The same thing happened to me and unfortunately, like most Americans, I can’t afford to go to as many doctors as I need to go to to find one who cares.
