@joanaiken I didn't realize there could be levels of being immunosuppressed? I thought either you are your not. As best as I know I am completely immunosuppressed. As for the ERCPs they told me that they don't put people all the way out. That we have to be conscious the whole time. I always ask to be put out but they won't do it.

I guess that was a silly question. We are all immunosuppressed based on our responses to medications/ labs. Propofol is used for sedation during procedures. I had it when I had cataract removal and still felt aware but completely sedated. It is also frequently used pre induction of general anesthesia. When I had the ERCPs, I don't remember being aware. So much to learn ! And we all have some interesting experiences.
