Why all of the differences?

I asked the same question earlier in the thread. Basically - my dad, my brother, & myself each had a colonoscopy within 18 months of each other and each one of our preps was different. Each doctor that ordered it was different, but all at the same clinic.

You would think that there would be a standard "Do these steps" but it seems like it changes based on how the doctor is feeling that day.
