I just moved cross country and don’t know a soul, so I don’t have any “trusted person” so do I just forego ever having another colonoscopy? Die from colon cancer instead of getting a cab ride home?
Can I take a bus or taxi home by myself after my procedure?
No. Due to the sedation given during the procedure, you are considered impaired. The sedation medication impairs your judgment and reflexes. A trusted person must be with you to accompany you on public transit.

Do you attend a church where you could meet people? it might take a few months but putting it off for a few months is better than skipping it altogether.
