I think it was supposed to do something. They insist a caregiver stay on site (this version of the procedure is done in-office) and do all the driving. And whatever was going on, they kept saying, "Give her more X", X being whatever the IV drug was (I think I know now). It just happened not to work. I could have driven myself home quite well, except for being so angry that it would have been unwise to do so anyway. The pain part (the shots) seemed to mostly do their job.

My husband says that anytime I am *that* polite and obedient, he can tell something's gone very, very wrong and I'm about to blow ... he didn't know what was up, but he supported my body language and verbal indicators of, "I want to leave NOW." I just love that my indicators of going 'volcano' are politeness and compliance, LOL.

There were other issues with the appointment and have been other issue with the facility, and this is making us see all of it in a different light. frown
