Clean colon for colonoscopy for colon cancer prevention
I was explaining to the resident about the importance of a clean colon versus a dirty colon colonoscopy, and how patients think that the colon is clean and stop the colonoscopy prep prematurely.
Our nurse chimed in, "I tell the patients if you can collect what's coming out in a cup and looks clean enough to drink, only then it is clean". She continued, "I will accept a lemonade but nothing less".
These words may sound gross but are profound and illustrate the misunderstandings patients have about clean colon. When it is "diarrhea" with any brown color to it, be highly skeptical.
Have you had a colonoscopy? What was your experience with the colonoscopy prep?
