Unlike the government, they sedated me.

The first time I had one of those it was worse than natural childbirth. I sat up on the procedure table in the middle of it all and proclaimed loudly: "I need more medication!"
The next time, I demanded Michael Jackson treatment (propofol) as a condition for going through with it again. I woke up afterwards in a blaze of REM glory.
Better living through chemistry, as stated in student graffiti, left untouched in the my 4 years there, on the wall next to the door to the chem lab at the liberal arts college I attended.

Congrats jack. I had mine a year ago with similar result. The only odd thing was that the Fleets Phospho soda they had me prep with tasted exactly how the Dead Sea tastes. Only without the benefit of the exotic locale...
Cheers!

Showed up at the San Fran VA without a person to take me home...so, end result was I had the choice of either coming back in a few weeks (which meant I would have to drink that wonderful gallon of fluid again) or do it WITHOUT medication.
Soooooooo I did it without any kind of drugs to knock me out. The young doctor who did the procedure? It was a young woman who introduced herself as, Doctor Ho.
