They didn't really push one or the other here (UK), they just offered both and explained with one it's 10 minutes in recovery and I'm on my way, with the other I'd need to wait for longer and have someone pick me up and with me.
So I went for the simpler option.
- wincy 6y agoI had just happened to read that a high percentage of Europeans do it without sedation, which is where I got the idea. Anesthesia is something I avoid as much as I possibly can. I wish now that I’d pushed more to get the endoscopy I had recently done without being completely knocked out, although the doctor (a different doctor) seemed a lot more resistant to that.
