i certainly agree with the statements about people having varying tolerances to these medicines. prior to my hernia surgery, the nurse gave me propofol in my IV and told me i'd start to feel drowsy and fall asleep. yeah, right...
after surgery, my doctor asked me what i remembered. i told him i remember receiving the dose of propofol, 10 minutes being wheeled into the OR (we made a right turn, a left down a hallway, and a right into the OR), and the last thing i remember was the OR nurse jamming the mask on my face (and not answering a question i had asked her, as we were chit-chatting when they moved me to the operating room table!).
he couldn't believe that i recalled the propofol dose, the directions to the OR and that the last thing i recall was the nurse jamming the mask on my face to shut me up!
