After a colonoscopy I had 5 years ago, under the influence of the same sedative that killed Michael Jackson, I had lingering dizziness and lack of balance for WEEKS. Enough so that I called my Gastroenterologist to ask if something was wrong. He had no answer.
These drugs are much more harmful than they’re willing to admit.
I’ve had two colonoscopies where the same drug was used on me as an anesthesia.
I am not 100% sure what was used on me during my open-heart surgery, either it was really strong or used continuously throughout the day since I was under for about 10 hours.
In the case of open surgery, they hook you up to a heart/lung machine and stop your heart for a period of time, I wondered before the surgery and still wonder about what that does to you.
