My friend went to get a colonospy was turned down because he didn't have a driver are there any other test that he can take ?

See below: He can reschedule colonoscopy but make sure he has someone to drive him home, for he may still be groggy after the procedure & no one wants him to have an accident. Ct colonography is now being used by some in lieu of colonoscopy & doesn't use sedation. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is another possibility that doesn't require sedation but surveys only the sigmoid & ascending colon.

Patient has choice: We occasionally perform colonoscopy without sedation. The driver is necessary for safe transport home if sedation is administered. If afraid of discomfort, find a driver. No other test gives near the information or protection from colon cancer.
