Just remember every procedure has risks associated with it. Recently spent three frightening days in the hospital after routine colonoscopy resulted in perforated colon. Best health care is to take good care of yourself, eat well, exercise and lose weight. If you can avoid the snake oil salesmen that call themselves Doctors you are likely to live longer.
Of course there are risks. But 'snake-oil salesmen'? Would you like to compare the number of lives lost to accidental perforations with the number of lives saved by the removal of pre-cancerous polyps?
