It could well have been that you got a dissociative agent. This is not uncommon in the ED. I remember using etomidate when I was a resident to deal with a kid who lacerated their tongue. After the shot a screaming kid who wouldn't let anyone near his bleeding mouth was totally compliant and willingly stuck out his tongue so I could throw a couple stitches in it.
