Anesthesia
"Dec.6,2013 I had a screening colonoscopy. Propofol was the agent used for sedation. I had an adverse reaction to the medication.  I was paralyzed, but not sedated. I knew every time they moved me. I knew what they were talking about. I understood everything, I just could NOT move, speak or even open my eyes.  I was able to get enough &quot;oomph&quot; to say &quot;hurts&quot; and someone said &quot;You shouldn&#039;t even be feeling that&quot; and I said &quot;hurts bad&quot;.  I am just thankful this was during a relatively minor procedure instead of something like heart/lung surgery.  I guess someone gave me a little more after I spoke b/c the next thing I remember is someone&#039;s panicky voice saying &quot;I can&#039;t get her oxygen up!&quot; over and over again. I survived, but barely I think."
