Propofol
anesthesia
"This was my second colonoscopy and my first using Propofol.  I was not showing any signs of a cold prior to getting on the gurney.  I was out like a light quickly but when I woke up I was full of mucous and coughing like crazy.  My throat was so sore that I could barely swallow and it was extremely difficult for me to speak.  My procedure was on Friday and it is now Sunday and although my throat feels much better,  I'm still coughing up mucous.  If it doesn't get better by tomorrow I'll go see my GP.  Propofol may be great for some, but not for me."
