I felt like I was tortured
I went to the ER due to complications from an etopic pregnancy. When we decided on surgery, I asked for anxiety meds. They refused, saying I'm about to go to sleep anyway. They came and took me to the OR. I was lying on the OR table freaked out. They called a couple of rapid responses to same day surgery before I got there. When it was time to put me to sleep, they gave fentanyl and then put a bvm mask over my face that was attached to oxygen. The oxygen wasn't turned on high enough, and I couldn't breathe. I literally felt like i was suffocating. I asked again for anti-anxiety meds while laying on the table crying. The anesthesiologist then said "yea I'll give you some anxiety meds." I pushed the mask off my face again because I couldn't breathe and felt like i was suffocating. I looked over and asked what anti-anxiety meds the anesthesiologist was pushing. He then stated "well just we are gonna put you to sleep. Here it goes lots on burning." They are holding my face down with oxygen. I'm bawling because I'm suffocating, and now my head and arms and whole body is on fire. That's all I remember from the OR. I woke up in that same state they put me to sleep in, and they were hateful when I wanted to get out of there. I tried, and I begged for anti-anxiety medicine.
