Propofol
anesthesia
"Received propofol for knee surgery (meniscus debridement). Despite being generally anxious about medical procedures, this one wasn't intimidating. I'd read up on propofol and watched YouTube videos of induction. (DON'T watch the airway intubation videos if you're the slightest bit freaked about the procedure. You won't like what you see.) :: In the OR, the anesthesiologist said he'd begun administering the Propofol. The drip was attached to the back of my left hand. I felt a warm sensation, then a sort of burning sensation. Not bad, really. Something like when you got an "arm twist rope burn" as a kid. Just a few seconds after induction -- lights out, curtain down. Total unconsciousness and unawareness."
