No, I am cute. I figure the doctor might molest me in my venerable state.

A little info I think should be considered about this drug Versed ( Midazolam ) that is used for Sedation for many medical procedures..Sedation and General Anesthesia are not the same and quite a few people being given Sedation
think they are being given General Anesthesia!
There is simply no good or valid reason to ever purposely induce amnesia during a medical procedure. It is only a recent development in medical thinking that amnesia is somehow a "benefit" to the patient. On occasion some
some patients will remember a bad experience. Forgetting does not mean it did not happen!!
I feel that if people were aware of the effects of this drug they would Opt For Another Drug!
Erasing someones memory of what was done to them is wrong!!
In fact, many people who use Versed for " IV Sedation,Conscious Sedation" Twilight Sedation, during a procedure are Awake For The Entire Procedure but remember nothing, often Believing They Were "Out" the whole time.
Versed (Midazolam) is an amnestic. It is also commonly used for minor procedures like setting broken bones,colonoscopies,endoscopies, dental procedures like extractions,conscious sedation,twilight sleep, so that patients won't remember pain and discomfort.HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THOSE SENSATIONS WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED!!!!
A note from an anesthesiologist
I agree that using midazolam alone in painful situations is wrong. I've heard people getting colonoscopies and screaming, and maybe they remember, maybe they don't.
A note I got from someone on Yahoo Answers who did have a bad experience..This is very disconcerting... My sister said she heard me screaming from the waiting room but assumed it wasn't me. When we left we heard another female patient screaming. I did a lot of research since your post, thanks so much for the info.
Here is a note from a Dentist Who uses Versed
I've used Versed 1000+ times during oral surgery procedures and I've never had a complaint. It's a miracle drug because it is safe and it causes you to not remember an unpleasant experience. My answer to him is isn't it better to have not experienced the pain than to have forgot it. No wonder you have had no complaints they have no memory of the procedure.....
I feel that giving a drug for amnesia is cruel I would not want it done to me!
A strange development in medical thinking that it's okay for a patient to have
pain as long as they don't remember it and think they slept thru the procedure..

I know its not the same, but I've had 3 brain surgeries due to being a premature baby and having complications. I've had many more operations in my life, and I'm only 14. Nothing has ever happened to me while I was under. Just go in with a positive attitude and don't worry. Everything will be fine. Good luck!

First, I laughed my you know what off when I read YakHair...'s answer...too funny!!
Second, I didnt feel safe when I had to have surgery, but if you have to be operated on, then just grit your teeth and go through with it. The way I figured it (and this may not be helpful to you, so stop reading if you are very easily scared)
I was either going to wake up on some good drugs or not wake up at all, in which case I wouldn't have cared about it.
Does anyone here know which one happened to me?

You should feel safe. I know I would watch over you and comfort you the entire time. I am the most famous E.R. associate in my hospital. I will hold anyones hand that is frightened and comfort anyone in need, I always will. It was done for me when I broke my neck. I felt safe.

If you were my doctor, no, I would be very worried. But if I was sedated......I wouldn't really be feeling much of anything.

we as physicians take an oath, first do no harm. you are safe. no one is going to take advantage of you while you are out...we are pretty much worried about maintaing your airway and making sure that you are not having any untoward reaction to the meds and also focusing on whatever procedure that you are having done.

I guess so, but I don't like hospitals or doctors in general...
