Ah, well, then you would have liked the sedation I got ... because it did absolutely nothing. Which is why I am trying to understand properly what it was intended to do. I'm *here* so it's not like I've never had procedures before, both large and small, but I've never had an experience like that one, and it terrified me. As did the lack of compassion by the medical professionals involved.

Thank you for your answer ... it actually does give me a lot of information.
