You might also be wrong. Polyps are not always removed. Unless you are prepared to find another job, you should proceed with caution. Malpractice is a strong word and can be tricky to prove in treatment decisions. Malpractice is usually based on outcomes.

i understand what you are going thru, I am having issues with my Dr. as well, but different, he gets the nurse to close the snare over the polyps and "cut" them per ther speed of his instruction to "cut-cut-cut" if i go too slow will i burn a hole or too fast and make a hole or bleed. i wonder if this is within the scope of paractice for me to do? he has even gotten me to actually place the snare over the polyp by turning the colonscope itself with only my hand guiding it, i'm flattered he considers me able to be a gastro doc with only 3 wks. training and 2 polypectomies under my belt to turn the scope over to my hands but i am an lpn not a dr.
