I had to attend the QEUH in Glasgow for a Gastroscopy on a Sunday. The nurse who took my details was efficient and friendly. I was took quickly so there was no waiting around. There was a choice of Throat spray or Sedation and I had chosen sedation as I didn’t want to feel anything. I have had two previous Gastroscopy scopes done at the RAH in Paisley and they were fine. They nurse gave me Throat Spray and then the Dr injected the sedation. Practically straight away he inserted the scope. I could feel the tube being rammed down my throat and into my stomach. It was painful. I should not have felt this pain. Afterwards the nursing staff were nice and I noticed on the form that the Dr had given me even less sedation than I had got at my very first scope. This was obviously not enough sedation.
