Can someone come with me to my colonoscopy?

You may have medication during your colonoscopy that makes you drowsy.  In this instance, you may need to ask a household member to drive you home from your colonoscopy appointment.  Unfortunately, we are restricting access to only allow essential visitors onto the endoscopy unit at this time.  This is to reduce the potential risk of infection in the hospital environment. If someone is driving you home, they will not be allowed onto the endoscopy unit with you and will need to make arrangements outside of the hospital while they wait for you.
