My friend went in for a colonoscopy and upon waking her, they said she had a hole in her colon and needed surgery immediately? She had no problems before the surgery. Did the colonoscopy create the hole?

I don't think colonoscopy can cause holes because it's done with laser. My daughters' mother in law has this problem. She was having trouble breathing and passed out. At the hospital, they said her oxygen level was low and put her in ICU in a drug-induced coma so her body could heal. She had 2 heart attacks, surgery and is on life support. The doctors said few people survive this trauma. Her bile, secretions,etc. leaked into her system. They have given her 48 to 72 hours to live. Doctor said this can caused by many things, one being taking antibiotics.I don't know how long she had this problem.
