Hey Rick. Make sure you discuss with the Doc how much meds they are going

to give you to help you relax. I have a habit of coming to during the

procedure.

I hope this finds you and yours well

Rick, I'll be keeping you in my thoughts tomorrow.

And Mark - coming to during the ERCP??? Yikes, I'd be freaked! I tell

my doctor to use a rubber mallet if he has to, I don't want to know

nothin'.

Rick,

Hopefully you will see this before your ERCP tomorrow. I just wanted to send

well wishes your way, and prayers that it all goes well for you. Let us know

how you're doing and what they were able to find out as soon as you feel up

to it.

With hope and prayers,

I have even grabbed the scope because it was hurting the back of my throat

and heard the Dr yelling at me.....Mark let it go, let it go, let it go, and

I know they were pumping more drugs into me because I started to fade

again...When I woke up I was quite pissed and the Dr avoided me for quite

some time...

I hope this finds you and yours well

Mark,

Same thing happened to me...twice. I always tell the docs to knock me out

big-time when doing an ERCP. I hate waking-up in the middle of those

procedures.

I had 3 ERCPs and 1 EUS. They would only knock me out for the ERCP

with manometry. The rest of the time they just gave me versid and

demerol and unfortunately I do not get drowsey like most people.

Although they say EUSes are less painful I thought the EUS was total

hell. I felt like I could not breathe and that I was going to hurl

the entire time and it lasted over one hour. I never spoke to or saw

that GI again. I had him send my results to a different doc in the

same practice because I literally wanted to beat this doc to a pulp.

Which is sad because he was just trying to help me figure out what

was going on and how to treat it. But its like an instant Pavlovian

instinct -- once someone does that to you, you just want to

retaliate.

be well,

Bert
