Well, I survived. Doctor found 2 small polyps that will have to get biopsied. I asked him about it and he shook his head and said "they're nothing to worry about" though being an anxious fellow, I will worry until I get a call otherwise. Other than that, it was a seamless experience. They knocked me out and then suddenly I was awake. No issues with that. I feel mostly normal right now, just a little tired. As long as everything is in fact okay, I'm good for another 3 years and then I get to repeat.

Glad for the news not to worry. I went to the doctor a couple years ago and while I was there I mentioned that I wanted to look into getting on some kind of anti-anxiety medication, and then I also asked about another health concern and she said, "it's probably nothing, but I'll take some blood to make sure you don't have leukemia." And I thought, thanks, that's really helpful for the anxiety problems I mentioned earlier.

She always looks really tired, I think a lot of these Kaiser Permanente doctors are just exhausted from all the quotas they have to deal with. Probably makes it hard to even be aware of what you're saying.

I was wondering if its one of those things where its become like an assembly line job for her and she interjects stuff like that to maybe get a reaction and break up the tedium.

I think some doctors just don't (obviously) understand the triggering nature of anxiety. They think they're being helpful or maybe they're just matter of fact clinicians. I always mention to everyone (doctors, nurses, etc.) that I struggle with health anxiety. I'm not sure if it always helps - but I really try and put it out there. I barely spoke to the GI doctor today - he just buzzed into the room and very quickly said he removed 2 polyps and that he wanted me to get another colonoscopy in 3 years. I asked about the size and that's when he shook his head and said yeah, I wouldn't worry, and then he was gone.

I once had unprotected sex with somebody I had just started seeing, and then I started getting worried about it. So I went to the doctor (he pawned me off on his PA), who asked if I had any symptoms of anything, and I said no, but what about HIV? And he said "is she black? you probably don't need to worry otherwise."

Never went back to that office again.
