re: I just had a colonoscopy this morning with Propofol, and damn that is one powerful drug

I have a very high tolerance for anesthetics and it is a terrible thing to have. I woke up on the table when they were finishing taking my gall bladder out. And dentists often have trouble getting me numb and don't believe me until I jump in the chair and show them. A root canal I had was particularly horrifying.

But Propofol was awesome when I had my latest colonoscopy. The paperwork showed it was actually a drug cocktail with a smidgen of Fentanyl. The Fentanyl was a surprise.
