Anesthesiologist Reacts to Hilarious Colonoscopy Comment: Awake vs. Sedated?

In a recent viral video, Dr. Myro Figura, MD, an anesthesiologist, shared a humorous anecdote about a patient's experience during a colonoscopy. The patient, while seemingly under sedation, made a lighthearted comment that caught the doctor's attention. This sparked a discussion about the possibility of undergoing colonoscopies while fully awake, a less common but still viable option. "Usually, colonoscopies are done under sedation," Dr. Figura explains, "but it can be done completely awake, and it's usually patient preference." The video highlights the unexpected humor in medical situations and the importance of patient comfort and choice. The unexpected comment from the patient, while under sedation, added a touch of humor to the otherwise serious medical procedure. The video has prompted discussions about patient preferences and the various approaches to colonoscopies.
