Thanks Jo, peanut and den.

Needless to say that I'm still very upset over this matter and I have been in touch with the Patient Affairs Manager at this hospital.

I explained that I was told I wouldn't remember anything about it but I remember the whole horrid experience.

I told her that in my opinion the full thing was a complete farce due to many factors with the first one being - in the procedure room it became apparent that I had not even signed a consent form and once this was noted I was expected to sign without even reading it as I never had my specs on, when I drew their attention to the fact that I could not read what I was signing they just said a consent form for sedation, the patients affair manager did say that this should not have happened the consent form should have been signed before entering the procedure room.

I did say that imo I should have either been offered more sedation or giving some time to calm myself down therefore being more relaxed and for them to try again.

The way I'm feeling at the moment hell will freeze over before I go for that procedure again, although hubby wants me to go again. I have made a appointment with my GP in January to discuss peanuts and Jo's advice about getting some pre-med and if not I'm afraid I will not be back for upper GI scope ever again.
