As I mentioned before , I had not a single moment of discomfort due to Mr Mc Kays skills in the theatre. I had previously tried to avoid having a colonoscopy at all costs for a good few years, but after this positive experience, while I may not wish to repeat it in the near future, should I need to have another one now it would be faced with confidence and not a cause for any worry or concern! on my part. Thank you Mr McKay.
