If I remember correctly, I was given Versed for my cataract surgeries.
First surgery, I came out of it will very little / fuzzy memories of procedure.
Before the second surgery (couple weeks later), nurse said sometimes people are more aware than they were during the first. (She said it more delicately than that.)
While I was on some level sedated (enough that I didn't mind them lancing my eyeball), I heard and later remembered every bit of conversation the doc and nurses had.
"Hey!" I wanted to scream, "stop chit-chatting while you're gouging my eye out!"
PS Thanks for reminding me my colonoscopy is due this summer...
