I raised holy hell over such a waiver at the dentist years ago, and when another patient started gripping about something else; the nurse got all flustered and forgot to get me to sign the waiver...they put me under, and did their work. If I had croaked, my wife would have owned them.
But here I am...
Ive signed those wavers many times. I tell ya, Im always so damn nervous about the procedure I don’t bother even reading it, I just sign it and tell them “Please don’t let me die” I was never afraid of the sedation, only of the procedure. Seems like I was worried about the wrong thing. My Mom on the other hand, she will NEVER get sedated, she does endoscopies awake, colonoscopies awake, always has and never will get sedated. She is an over reactor but she always fears not waking up, or her brain turning to mush from sedation
