When my mother had her peg tube placed it was supposed to take place in the OR at the same time as her radical neck. Of course the ENT was running late and the doctor who was placing the tube couldn't wait so they did it before going to OR. After the PEG tube and on her way to the OR, my mother who was a little light-headed, from whatever they had given her to place the tube was on a gurney in front of the nurses station with her children. One of the nurses asked her if she had ever had Valium before. My mother replied I have heard of Valium , but I have never heard of Valium B-4 and I'm a retired nurse. Is that something new? That remark caused everyone to erupt in laughter to the point of tears. One of the nurses commented that it was the "happiest" radical neck she had ever witnessed.
