Leslie M's Experience
|
Experience description:
Due to
my dislike of needles, my dentist would arrange for me to go into theater when I
needed work done on my mouth. Arrangements would be made that I was not to be
given any injections. This particular time however there was an upset when the
nurse wanted to administer the premed via an injection which I refused to let
her do, which meant I went into theater without it.
Once there the anesthetist tried to put me under with an injection.
At this point I was very angry and tried to get up to leave. This
resulted in me being held down by the theater staff while a gas mask was placed
over my mouth. I witnessed this scene fleetingly from an elevated position from
the corner of the room. I don't remember feeling any particular reaction to this
while witnessing it.
