I had 24 mlg of Versed in me a while back along with another drug (unkown), possibly a "pain-killer" of some sort before I was cardioverted due to atrial fibrillation. I wasn't out. So the fist shot of Joules caused me to clock the Cardiologist in the chin and scream out loud "OOOooch"! On the second one I sat up out of bed and hit the attending in the eye and screamed again.
I now hold the record at my local hospital for amount of Versed ever given. So, should I just make it easier on all and just tell the anesthesiologist on some upcoming outpatient surgeries I have planned that I am allergic to it or just tell them the story?
My way of thinking is that if I can take that amount of Versed at once, then the entire class of drugs in the same class as Versed won't work either. Right or wrong?
