I had terrible reactions to Versed in the 90s. In fact, its never been given to me since...I have a history of close-head injury as an adult, and Meningitis as a child, and seizures. Now, this "new" GI surgeon insists "I always give it to patients..." and will not back down, in spite of handing him my former doctors contact numbers. He said "I don't need to talk to other doctors."

Well, I don't need him, either, and really hope he ends up in enough crap to send him packing back home to India. He wouldn't dare say that or act in such an irresponsible manner in India.

The last time I had Versed, besides the earlier breathing problems, and increased neuro activity (Oral Surgeon documented my reactions), it was for a colonoscopy about '94. I literally had no memory of activities for the following 4-1/2 days, and couldn't be awakened after the procedure, so the GI surgeon kept coming back to see how I was doing. All in spite of a daughter visiting me, and the enjoyment we had visiting friends, etc. the 5 days after the procedure. No memory of anything. The GI surgeon at that time (more highly intellectual than this bloke in Lubbock) told me to "NEVER accept that drug or any in its group again...I'll chart this..." I still have his note to me, but Dr. Smartee-pants refused to read anything. He'd prefer to bury his mistakes.
