It's all in the drugs for those sort of things.

I have heard people talk about their choice of drugs for tests and such but
never really understood until my heart attack. Now, if asked, I would have
to say my choice of drug would be morphine (?). I was filling up with
fluid and my heart was pounding like an old old oil well. They said they
were going to give me something and the next thing I knew it was like warm
syrup running all through my veins. Then, they gave me lasix and ruined the
whole thing!

From my own experience, prep is the worst part of the colonoscopy. I
had some vile "lemon/lime" flavor. Liquids the day before (white
liquids mind you), and 1/2 the bottle in the evening, the other 1/2
first thing in the morning ((((((shudder))))).

You have my sympathies on the prep. May the procedure go well for
you, and may you get an "all clear" reading.

Versed (conscious sedation) isn't bad, I remember the doc asking if
I'd like him to fluff my pillow for me, me saying, no it's fine, and
that was the end of my memory of the event (but I was technically
awake, they said).
