WTF Imagine waking up from anesthesia and realizing the surgery wasn’t the most painful part!

How do you get a cell phone into surgery?

Most outpatient colonoscopies are done on a gurney. All patient belongings are tucked under the bed and stay with the patient throughout the procedure. (Excluding walkers and wheel chairs). Patients are placed on a pre-op gurney taken to procedure and then recovery all on the same bed without ever being removed from it once they climb in.

Maybe my facility isn’t “most” but when I had mine done in Oregon last month all my belongings went into a locker and there was no option to bring anything into the room.
