Debbie, my girl said that if she hadn't had to drive home herself afterwards, they would have given her Valium instead of the gas.
Valium???? I thought Valium was for patients in an asylum, kind of like an lightweight breakfast, before the serious stuff came out for lunch, lol.
Many ppl here don't even want an anaesthetic to have a cavity filled, so Valium seems a tad over the top to me.
Anyway, hope it's all going to work out. I told her to consult me or her mother in law before she has any medical/dental work in the future. When she'd broken her elbow, they gave her wrong advice too. Just happens that I have knowledge in that area, being a medical assistant, so I could tell her what to tell the doctors and physio. And her in laws are both doctors and love her, so they could give her decent advice too.
@ Big balls... now there's a subject before bed, lol.
I assume you mean I/v valium, similar to I/v midazolam which they give here for nervous patients who request it here, pretty routine but midazolam is used more here, all depends on if she really needs it.both similar drugs. but did she require it in the first place?
theres some confusion over valium, because it was perceived to be a mega strong drug, when its actually the weakest benzodiazepine there is NOW (in the uk) so they changed the name to diazepam to avoid this confusion. many peeps are on it for a muscle relaxant and for back spasms it still strong and addictive, but its not the worst benzo, ones like lorazepam are much worse because there very quick acting, so peeps get a hit, and they ware off quick so you need more of them, where diazepam is longer acting, so you need less.
