I had an endoscopy performed by Dr Navqi yesterday, my previous endoscopy having taken place 2 years ago and had been horrendous. The doctor had been very abrupt and had refused to attempt the procedure via my nose and had gone ahead with inserting the scope via my mouth with very little anaesthetic and I had left the procedure in tears. She gave me no feedback and one of the nurses on duty had asked if I wanted to complain I didn't but with hindsight should have. I was therefore very anxious yesterday, I shouldn't have been. After my pre checks the nurse had reassured me that Dr Navqi would try via the nose first and if unable I would be offered sedation prior to the scope being inserted via my mouth. Dr Navqi explained everything sprayed anaesthetic in both nostrils and my throat and then was able to insert through my nose. What a difference to the previous time, apart from a little discomfort the whole procedure was pain free including the taking of 5 biopsies. The worse part was the sore throat afterwards but that's to be expected and is a lot better today. Thank you Dr Navqi.
