I will say that the one procedure you really want to be out on is an endoscopic exam of the stomach and esophagus. I had a plane to catch later that afternoon and if I had the general , that was out . The Doc said it wasn`t a big deal as they would numb my throat . So I said .... let`s do it .
That was the worst experience I`ve ever had . Ever had a tube bigger than your thumb put down your throat ? You can`t close you mouth as they put a ring in it to keep you from biting the tube ... and you sure as hell can`t say anything . All I could do was lie there , gag and have tears run down my face . After it was over , the nurses said they had never had anyone not use anesthesia during that procedure .... they all thought I was crazy .... and I did too .
Last time I ever believed that Doc on anything .
