Yep! And you just ASSUME that if your doctor, and the facility, are in-network, so is the anesthesiologist (and other -ologists involved). I remember back when my daughter was a newborn, I was on a parent-of-preemies list for a bit. One parent was nearly hysterical because the hospital her newborn was in - and this was not an optional admission, the baby was in the NICU - was in-network, but NONE OF THE NEONATOLOGISTS were. Not like you can take a 3 pound preemie, incubator and all, down the street to the next hospital. I have no clue how that worked out. On another note; I will shortly be following in EmilyG’s footsteps - if, er, not too closely lest there be lingering, um, effects. Got my next one scheduled for early April. At 8 in the morning. I could have held out for a later date with a later appointment time, but it’s not like I dare sleep all that soundly the night before. So at 2 AM or so, you all know what I’ll be doing! And with a 7:15 arrival time, we wouldn’t run into rush hour traffic even if it existed anymore. Now to try to find some more [scope-related jokes.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/need-colonoscopy-jokes/638854/41) , as I’ve plumb run out. I suppose I could start loudly singing “Let, the Sun Shine In” but that’d be really, really cruel (maybe I can put it on my phone and smuggle it in on the gurney). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-tradition-my-colonoscopy-thread/933566)._
