'I saw blood gushing inside of me with the doctor saying ‘I can’t stop the bleeding’.”
Elise Kinnon, 37, underwent a colonoscopy but said she was awake the whole time despite reportedly being told beforehand she would be fully sedated.
West Herts Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said it is sorry to hear of any negative experiences but will investigate and respond directly to the patient.The Watford woman, who works as a singer, dancer and actress, added “no means no” and claimed the doctor said they chose not to sedate her due to her being “young”.
When she put that to the doctor handling her complaint, they reportedly admitted the document was incorrect and she was not given Entonox.Elise has been living in the UK for 15 months after a successful career in New York, where she had her first colonoscopy while sedated.Ms Kinnon, originally from Australia, said she now experiences “night terrors” and wants Watford General to foot the bill for counselling sessions.
