STEP 3: During the procedure your pulse and oxygen levels are closely monitored by specially-trained personnel to ensure the utmost safety. As the patient, you will be aware of what is happening on a purely detached level. You can answer questions, accommodate requests and generally do what you’re told. Simultaneously, the IV will give you a peaceful feeling. Basically, you won’t be bothered in the least by any poking or prodding. As a bonus -- you’ll recall virtually nothing!
