If you can, go to a teaching hospital where they have experience with SCI. Or
were you at a teaching hospital? You really have to advocate for your self
when getting medical treatment even if you are not disabled. Hope everyone is
more informed and things go better next time. Dan

that should be covered in the pre-op meeting with your doctor and doctors about
your precondition and have it written into the doctor's report. The surgical
team, must read the pre-op report before they begin to prep you. Ask LindaF,
if I'm correct.

Hey yall,
I was in the hospital getting my colonoscopy 2 years ago and the iv they put
in me caused me to go into dysreflexia. I watched my blood pressure go up on
the machine right b4 my eyes. I was scared as hell and neither the people
prepping me for the colonoscopy or my mother believed anything was wrong. It
was a very scary momment for me because they were putting me asleep. With the
grace of god I made it through, but Im kinda bitter because noone ever believes
anything I say when I go in the hospital.
