The case you described is unusual. Clearly, there is no direct connection between being pocked around in the colon and becoming quadriplegic. Something unrelated must have happened.

No, it was definitely related to the procedure, as the doctor conceded - she suffered a ruptured spleen. Very rare, but it does occur. If we had a "loser pays" policy regarding lawsuits, we may have come to a different conclusion.

And I have no doubt that you're right about the value of colonoscopies and that my reluctance to have one is completely irrational.
