“I agreed to document my colonoscopy experience on video to dispel some common myths and fears about colonoscopy,” Mr. Leconte said in a March 15 news release from the hospital. “Too many people in our community think it’s hard to prep for the procedure or that it’s painful or embarrassing. I hope my experience encourages more New Yorkers, especially more Black men, to get screened. We owe it to ourselves and our loved ones.”
