I was allowed to aspirate under anesthesia during my colonoscopy. Information shared with my husband was that “WE” had suctioned my throat behind my nose and they said that I “MIGHT HAVE ASPIRATED”, but no other warning was given. I went home coughing and wheezing and my temperature continued to rise over the next four hour period to 101.4. At that point we called the on call doctor who agreed that we should go to the ER. At the hospital, I was diagnosed with chemical aspiration pneumonia and was treated at Carteret General Hospital for the next three days.
