Very interesting. I cannot recall having sedation outside of dental practices, but I have had several colonoscopies which involved counting down from 10, getting to about 8 and waking up hours later in recovery.

Interesting to see I'm sort of an outlier.

You probably (depending on your location) had so-called ‘deep sedation’ for your colonoscopies, which usually involves reasonable doses of anaesthetic drugs, likely leading to complete amnesia. The crucial point is that we don’t necessarily promise no recall, that’s a side effect of maintain comfort and facilitating the procedure.
