Last year, I had a colonoscopy. After they inserted the IV, I remember the nurse telling me to turn over on my left side. The next thing I remember was another nurse asking me if I wanted something to drink, in the recovery area. Anything in between is a total blank. Later, I asked the Dr. what was given to me, he said Versed. The worst part of the colonoscopy was the preparation the night before. I will not hesitate to return to this Dr. if needed for another one. I don't want to remember, or feel any pain. For me, Versed is the greatest thing since TV. A friend, who has also had a colonoscopy with Versed, also feels the same way. I am sorry for any of you who have had a bad experience, but mine was great, and I will not hesitate to use it again. Why would anyone want to remember pain??
