Endoscopy Danger

   I have undergone only one endoscopy in my lifetime, and it was done in the hospital.  But the gastroenterologist performing the procedure did so with one arm in a cast.  I was already hooked up to an IV when the nurse or tech or whatever told me that the doctor had slipped on the ice and broken his arm.  She said he had cancelled his colonoscopy procedures, but was doing endoscopies.    I remember asking which arm and was he right or left handed, but no one answered.  By the time he entered the room, I was too woozy to see which arm.  I'm lucky to be alive.
