If they are late they get rescheduled even if prepped. There rides are not allowed to leave the building and Recovery time is 30 minutes. Very efficient business. Yes it is a business an endoscopy business not a hospital.

That's a lot of work. We allow 45 mins for doubles, 35 mins for colons, 15 mins for EGDs and 20 mins for flex sigs. I'm starting to think we have it pretty easy.

"rescheduled if late even if prepped"? that shows a callous disregard for the patient.
