It starts with Yorkshire pudding, then before you know it, you're eating Toad in the Hole, then you're following your bacon baps with Scotch eggs and someone gets you to try Bubble and Squeak, which leads to Spotted Dick and maybe Eton Mess, when you have the cash.

I recommend St Felicity's Toad in the Hole batter, if you're going to try it. You can just make the Yorkshire pudding bit by itself if you want, it's pretty good.

In fairness, tipping in the US can be weird. Had an actual discussion with wife and BiL about whether we tip the dude who drove us around the Oregon dunes in a sandrail.

I've had fentanyl a few times for procedures and not remembered feeling good at all. It's been fully under stuff though so maybe that would make a difference.

It's the propofol they knock you out with that makes you feel good. It induces euphoria in about 50% of people. Midazolam, the other drug usually used to sedate you, reduces anxiety and is a muscle relaxant.

Hopefully you won't need anal(ho ho)gesia during either a top or bottom scope as neither procedure are particularly brutal, so you just wake up feeling like you've had the best sleep ever.

Seems unecessarily risky to anesthetize people for a little probe play, i googled it and people who got it done un-drugged say it doesn't even hurt

They don't fully knock you out - propofol and midazolam are sedatives not anaesthetics, though they're usually used as the preparation for general anaesthetic. They both help prevent the formation of memories too, which can be handy, trauma-wise.

The scopes themselves probably aren't too bad - they're about 2cm in diameter - but the nipping at your insides for biopsies and the removal of polyps by ligature probably aren't much fun.

Zipperelli. posted:

This is incorrect.

First off when you say general anesthesia, all you're referring to is the medication cocktail the patient gets pre-procedure. General anesthesia can be a wide variety of medication combinations, it's not one specific drug.

Propofol is a general anesthetic. Check your DDG, epocrates or even ask Dr. Google. It's therapeutic class is literally "general anesthetics." It's not an analgesic if that's what you meant, but it's entire purpose is the induction of general anesthesia - and it will 100% knock you out. I use it on rescue as part of our "facilitated intubation" protocols (RSI protocols are different), and I absolutely adore the looks from the ED nurses when they realize we carry propofol on our trucks.

The amount you give can alter what happens as well. If you want conscious sedation effects so you can reset a shoulder that's oof socket, for example, you'd give less because you don't want the patient totally unconscious. If you're inducing anesthesia for intubation, for example, you'd give a larger dose (maybe along with a paralytic, situation dependent) then continue propofol for your anesthesia.

The amount of drug given doesn't change it's drug class or indication for usage though.

Poop, that'll teach me not to look at MIMS before posting.

I had meant GA not analgesia, and I'd understood that it was the sedative that was given before the actual breathable anaesthetic to get the ball rolling, so to speak, but happy to be corrected, because I find all this fascinating.

It's why I'm partly considering theatre nursing once I graduate.
