Hi,

I am sorry about what happened to your son.

This is a clear case of anesthesia complication or inappropriate management of intra- operative anesthesia, or wrong administration, or even medical mistake while administering the drug.

What happened to your son is unfair. You must get back to the doctors who did colonoscopy and ask for a detailed surgery notes along with the anesthesia route of administration, method and every detail of the procedure inside the operation theater.

I hope you read this response and find some solution to your son's concerns.

Take care!
