Hi Jackie Murray, I too just experienced a VERSED nightmare, was awake the entire time during my colonoscopy and endoscopy procedure but unable to communicate the experience or articulate it fully. The nurse kept screaming at me to take deep breaths. I complained afterwords, but the Dr. said they thought the procedure tolerable. At one point I was squeezing the nurses hand so hard I thought it would fall off, tears were rolling out of my eyes and I was trying to articulate my pain. They would dose me up, I was left drooling but still conscious, just not able to articulate. Class action? Sure. email me. nouklana at yahoo.com
