Re: Embarrassing problem after anesthesia

May 19, 2004

Hi ,

Don't worry about this, we all think it's cute. We had a digital camera and

took pictures that we put on a secret site on the Internet, it was a lot of

fun. I think we blanked out your face but maybe not. Anyway it's still cute and

all of the doctors and other hospital folks had a good laugh.

We are all looking forward to your next visit. Maybe we will be prepared to

have a video camera this time for actual movies to publish. YaHoo!!!

Best wishes, Poncho - GA

, I too have woken up many times during an Endoscopy or ERCP.

And I can definitely say it isn't a nice thing to wake up to..I

usually try to sit up and heave and heave from everything being down

my throat.

I have to tell them to sedate me heavily due to previous bad

memories. The hospital where I have it done now, I think it is a

general they give me. I know the anaesthetic is egg based, and I

have never woken from it...so far knocking on wood *S*

When I first learned that people tend to say much and leave little

to the imagination when coming out of anaesthetic, I asked the

nurses if I said or did anything embarrassing, but they told me I

must have been the exception to the rule *L*...although one time I

did try to fight the nurses from putting the air mask on me..hope

none landed..but I wasn't in restraints when I came to so it can't

have been too bad
