Hi guys,
No, the 200 was actually for Versed because he had a student with him and told him it was Versed, and then wanted the student to tell him what type of med it was and it's method of action. Eeks....students didn't know and was told to come back and tell him the next day. Lol. Same as for the Fentanyl...told the student what it was and stated it was a narcotic...what was its method of action? Again, 3rd year student didn't know. Eeks!
After the dose of Versed, they all left me by myself in the room to get sleepy. Well, I didn't. I was looking at my x-ray, all the lovely instruments, twiddling my thumbs basically. The door was open, and they kept walking back and forth every few minutes to check on me. Finally they all came in at once and started setting up (oxygen for my nose, etc). I said, "Wait! Don't start anything yet. I'm not sedated!" And the oral surgeon said, "oh no, we wouldn't do that." Then he injected quite a full syringe into my IV, and I still wasn't sleepy but they kept getting prepared. Then the nurse closed my eyes, and in went the freezing. I was conscious the whole time, but it wasn't that bad...except for three times when it hurt kind-of bad....which I let them know. When he said it was done, I opened my eyes right up, was walked over to recovery, and probably only stayed for about 15 minutes or so because I was fully alert (other than a little dizzy).
I said "ml" in my message because I was just thinking liquids was millilitres. But it WAS 15 of Fentaanyl and 200 of Versed (which shocked BOTH the surgeon and the nurse. I asked if that was a lot, and he shook his head "yes" as he left the room).
Anyways, that's my story. I had told him beforehand that I had an anxiety disorder, but maybe he didn't realize how bad it was until the normal doses weren't working! Lol.
God bless,
Sandy
