Anesthesia
"I had propofol for my second attempt at my first colonoscopy. During the first attempt they used Versed and Fentanyl and I was in so much pain the procedure had to be stopped half way through. During my second attempt, at first colonscopy yesterday, propofal was used. It was like night and day. As they wheeled me into the room I made a comment to the nurse about the lighting and that is the last thing I remember until about an hour later I woke in recovery, fully alert and ready to go. I felt fine was rested most of the day. What an amazing drug. The problem with conscious sedation is, they don&#039;t know who it will work on. And who wants to do that prep twice? With the propofol it is a step deeper than the conscious sedations, and works great"
