"Hi Jackie
I contacted you last year about how I've had colonoscopies
without sedation and how, to me, they are painless. I wanted to relate to you a
surprising experience I had this past Friday.
On Friday, I had joint
replacement surgery on the big toe of my right foot. My doctor told me she
normally does this surgery under MAC. So, I was prepared for the usual fight
about no Versed with the Anesthesiologist. However, the Anesthesiologist spoke
with me for a very long time, listening to my concerns and history. He
recommended, based on my history, GA, and he absolutely assured me that Versed
would not be used.
No one tried to put anything into my IV prior to
going to the OR, and in the OR, clearly visible to all, was a huge white board
with my medical history listed. In the middle of the white board, in big
letters, was "ALLERGIES - VERSED". The feeling of relief I had seeing those two
words was indescribable.
The surgery went well and I am now
recovering. I was very lucky to have the Anesthesiologist I had for this
surgery."
