I work for a SaaS vendor in an industry where that is still a bit 'exotic'. We get sent ridiculous 'security surveys' for which 90% of the answers are N/A. I'm dubious that anyone reviews the other answers.

I've never liked Propofol and the hours of dopiness it induces post-op. I did my last colonoscopy with no anesthesia. It was only mildly uncomfortable and pretty interesting - the doctor acted as tour guide. The I got up and went hom
