anesthesia
"I got in a car wreck when I was 17. I had many injuries, had surgery and was put on a ventilator for 5 days. It was the worst experience of my life. So last year when I was 30 I had to have empiema(sp?) surgery. My mother (who is a nurse and worked at that hospital) was there. I begged her if I had to be put on a vent again PLEASE have me knocked out with something the whole time. They had me on Propofol I.V. the whole time and the only time I knew I was on a vent is when a bubble formed in my I.V. which my mom came in and flicked it and I was out again. I was out for three days and when I woke up I did not have a hangover at all."
