@Scott F posted:Strange, you have misunderstood me. It was very helpful of you to report what your Specialist Surgeons have advised, as others can receive the benefit of that advice. I wouldn’t have characterized it as “the best and only opinion necessary,” but that’s neither here nor there - I was offering an observation on the thread, not your specific comment. I don’t get an annual pouchoscopy, and I’ve decided that in my circumstances it isn’t necessary, so my comment was most particularly not a defense of US practices. I was simply suggesting a way we might be most helpful to one another.
Well in that case Scott, I apologise for my misunderstanding and for responding in such a manner.
Thanks for being good enough to explain.
i used the term “ the best and only opinion necessary“ due to the reputation of St Marks within the UK .
If I can’t trust the word of my Surgeon, who at the time was also the Clinical Director of St Marks, who can I trust; also, why look for opinions elsewhere when I’m already under the care of the best available in my country.
