Horrible. Why? This is way too much for one unsuspecting, innocent being to endure wide awake. I say, NOOOOO to any more suffering for Taylor. I am so sorry this had to happen to your precious body.
I hate to share, but need to - my Dad had an awake anaesthesia for an endoscopy when he was having GI and stomach bleeds back in 2015 THIS was the ER trauma (with blood loss prior to ambulance) that I'm convinced led to an ischaemic event ie not enough oxygen going to his brain, because of all you've shared about the tube....Dad was diagnosed with vascular dementia. My Mum saw it all - how anyone thought it was a good idea to do an endoscopy on a heart failure patient who'd lost significant amount of blood and had Atrial fibrillation is beyond me...
I'll add NG tube to my own Advance Directives now. Your brave sharing has helped this reader solidify my thinking for me AND my mum. Thanks.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I will say for all its misery- an NG Tube is terrible but it’s also survivable. It’s a memory and experience I wish I didn’t have - but I’m still here and I’m okay ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
