Hello my fellow nurses. I have a question. My family member had a colonoscopy on Monday. They took a couple of biopsies to pathology. However this am when he had a BM, this came out. Does anyone know what it is specifically? Thanks.

But, I would schedule a meeting with the endoscopy center and bring it and discuss with them. If nothing else, for quality control improvement impetus. I hope the biopsies are negative. 🙂

They pinch the tissue together to prevent bleeding until it heals, and sloughs off when healed. No need to contact quality control 🙂
