"I tried to tell the anesthesiologist that I have sleep apnea, use oxygen at night, have three conditions. Major veins, and I am very sensitive to drugs. He wouldn't listen. Put me immediately out, and my oxygen blood level went down to 51. Had I stayed at that level for 5 minutes, I would have died. The hospital changed the records. I was convulsing, gasping for air. The eye doctor said I jerked side to side violently. Lucky it was at a time in the procedure that it didn't matter. Anesthesiologist searched the sheets/blankets for the meter and told the eye doctor it had come off my finger."

"I get a Botox injection done on my bladder every 4 months. I have a spinal cord injury, and it's a procedure I have to get done. They give me Versed every time. I get very stressed before this surgery because sometimes I wake up in pain. But when they give me the Versed in the operating room, my anxiety melts away, and I wake up in the recovery room. Then, shortly after that, they give me pain medication. I've never had a bad reaction to this medication, and I get surgery and procedures a lot."

"They gave me this before my gallbladder surgery, popped it in the IV. Within a few minutes, they were wheeling me in the OR, and I remember nothing after that. Great drug!"

"I had Versed (midazolam) and propofol for a procedure and had a great experience. They were able to use half as much propofol as a result of the Versed being administered first. This meant that I came to and regained my coordination and senses in less than half the time."
