Propofol

Recently I had a medical procedure that required anesthesia.  When I came to,  I asked the nurse what drug the anesthesia specialist used to put me to sleep.  The nurse replied, "The doctor used Propofol. It's what we use." 
I replied, "Isn't that the same drug that's in the news right now?"
She said, "Yes, and your anesthesia doctor monitored you closely throughout your procedure."
I smiled at that and marveled at the power of some medicines and drugs and how they can be helpful when used correctly.  Thankfully, I no longer get nervous about these types of procedures.  I just pray beforehand and ask God to watch over me as well as the doctors who work on me.  I believe that God wakes me up. 
Take care,
Sylvia
