So anyway, apparently I dont have the option of general anesthetic but I can chose something called 'conscious sedation', which from looking around seems to be I will be awake, but I am unlikely to remember anything..which sounds alright BUT what if I do remember, and also the thought of having it done in the first place even if I dont remember is freaking me out so much
I have a massive phobia of vomit, and I imagine that during this I will just be constantly gagging and that
I am also worried that if I am awake and they are shoving a hose down my throat, I may end up punching the doctor or something :/
Basically, if anyones had this, is it as bad as it sounds?  |
Yes I had one
it not as bad as it sounds
you feel it but it smooth
they know how to do it.
they had a good look
and I got a all clear.
It must be done
and its safe
Yes you are awake
but its a Life Saver
