Completely put me off

Posted By Justapatient29

"Completely put me off"

About: Victoria Hospital / Endoscopy

(as a parent/guardian),

This is my 2nd endoscopy with "sedation".

The first one was amazing , I literally have NO recollection of anything. 

This time I was totally awake, aware and completely distressed, gagging, retching, and tried to pull the scope out 3 times.

Three mg of midazolam is not enough (that's on my report), my dentist gives me way more than that just for an extraction.

This has COMPLETELY put me off EVER having another scope.
