'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Spending a day every two months in PACU means I get to experience lots of people coming out of anesthesia. The asking again and again and again is totally par for the course.
Twilight sleep uses the same drugs as general anesthesia but in smaller doses.
I also think it's NUTS that I was intubated for a kidney stone procedure where they just kept pinging me to break up the stones but that I was conscious=ish for major abdominal surgery.
Also, an amazing video from the inside of a cockpit of one of the firefighting planes at the Rim Fire: [link]

I think that's for the convenience of the doctors, so you don't move around and mess up the targeting.

I'm sorry , Scrappy.
Matt has been told more than once to stop watching whatever surgery is happening to his body. His mom was a nurse, and he just likes to see. But they tell him to go back to sleep and he does.
I'm really sorry about Zorro, Scrappy.
I wanted to watch my foot surgeries, but they wouldn't let me. Probably just as well.

am I the only 12-year-old here? I laughed!
Thanks for the How Stuff Works link -- that explains a whole lot! And I see by the notes I wrote down with my pre-procedure call with the nurse (to go over what I had to do with the prep) that the drugs they were going to use were Versed and Fentanyl.
If there IS a next time (probably, if they want a screening every X years from now on), maybe I can talk them out of the Versed, so I can remember. Or else talk them into taping me and my questions. Or let me post on Facebook during, which would be hi-larious. (Maybe not that....)
Actually, I barely remember dressing myself after the procedure, or being walked over to the recovery alcove. I guess I know what it's like to be roofied -- in the safest way possible.
The versed's not only there so you don't remember, Theo. It's there so you're calm and it doesn't bother you. I know which way I want to gamble when people are poking about.
I have to read the AP feed for work, and it's all Syria today. It's a little unnerving.
