Colonoscopy by Dr. Swenson

Colonoscopy done by Dr. Swenson @Fairbanks Memorial Hospital @12:00PM to around 12:25PM.

found 2 polyps.

everything looks all right, Dr. Swenson says, and he is expecting another Colonscopy in 7 to 10 years later again. He suggested next procedure again without sedation since I am all right with it this time, and I do not have any one to ride back home.

2 polyps will be sent to lab to find out what kind of polyps they are.
