I just got a letter today from my GI's office about the shortage of Versed, one of the sedatives used during a colonoscopy. From the letter, I gather they don't have any, and will instead offer either no sedation, or have an anesthesiologist there to give a deeper sedation that normal. Has anyone been through either of these alternatives? Honestly, I'd rather have deeper sedation than none.
