I doubt your story: It is unlikely that they found "nothing" if there was actual rectal bleeding to that degree. I believe that there had to be something that caused the bleeding, even something simple like a hemorrhoid. Did they examine the entire colon, or just the rectum? Are you getting the full story from your sister?
