anesthesia
"I was given propofol 3 years ago when I had total joint replacement surgery, and it was a very positive experience.  The onset of sedation was almost immediate.  I remember talking to one of the nurses in the operating room, and the next thing I knew I was back in my hospital room feeling awake and as though nothing had happened.  In fact, I kept asking the nurse if she was sure I had already had the surgery.  Another very positive aspect of propofol over other anesthesia was that I didn't need a breathing tube, because I was breathing on my own during the operation.  I plan to request propathol sedation in the future if I should need any other surgery,"
