I think they just have to say it for legal reasons, in the very rare event you do get scratched. But the tip of that thing was smooth, round, and soft like a squishy bouncy ball, so idk how it could scratch you. lol.)

Even if everything went to sh_t during the procedure, the whole thing still takes maybe 5-10 mins, and that includes going into the small intestine.
Thanks for this! I too will most likely have to have an endoscopy (if I ever get to the dr for my stomach pain) and I was very nervous. You made me feel better.
