As someone who has had an endoscopy without anesthesia, she is a DEMON

[edwardcornell]

I would need to be knocked out for that, i have too strong of a gag reflex.

[BrandedChronicles]

Let’s appreciate her dedication to training her students!!

[nephimeris]

As someone who works as an endoscopy nurse, I have to applaud the fact her reflexes did not go crazy

[ShelbylunaMorgan]

Holy shit. No one shoving that down my throat while I am awake.

[Steven-vy]

I had 2 procedures, and both times, I was anesthetized. It's always great to hear you're healthy!😂❤

I've seen a lot of gastroscopies, and it's always a very uncomfortable experience for pts, and the fact that she's doing this on herself without anesthesia is just insanely impressive

[alexf]

Her husband knows what's up.

When I was 19 I went for an endoscopy and the doctor did not use anesthesia. It was one of the worst things I have been through, no sedation. Two nurses had to hold me down.😥 She tougher then me. Kudos to her !

طبعا هي شجاعة جدا لانها قامت بهذا لنفسها ، تحية لكل الاطباء (اود ان اصبح طبيبا في المستقبل)

Drs do such weird sh!t. I remember a veterinarian I was working with, she got bit somehow, and she literally sanitized and cleaned the wound and sutured her wound shut with absolutely no pain meds, just adrenaline. Standing in the middle of the treatment room having a full blown conversation while suturing like it was nothing. Then she went back to doing her surgeries and appts for the day like nothing happened. Also had a veterinarian that INSISTED on leaving his shirt and white coat unbuttoned at the top so his chest hair hung out all day. 😐

Honestly this makes me feel so much better… I’ve been terrified of surgery/invasive medical treatments and seeing this woman preform her own endoscopy makes me feel like it’s not as torturous as I believe half of the things to be

[cremebrulee]

What a wonderful thing to do to put patients at ease.

[triw]

I’ve done this without any anesthesia because I was pregnant. It was not great. But I wouldn’t call it painful.

[llednaselyod]

I had this procedure done a year ago they took a few biopsies that came back non cancer, so I went out easy and woke up in my room, with no discomfort and no nausea.

I had an emergency colonoscopy done to me when I was a young very ill teenager. I couldn't keep food down. I ultimately had 14 ulcers bleeding from the penicillin I was perscribed from my illness. At the time, I didn't know what the test was called. It was extremely crampy when they had to position the camera around a bend in the intestines. The nurse tried her best to distract me from the pain by telling me to watch my insides displayed on the little television. Decades later, I had my first scheduled colonoscopy. It was then that I realized that I had a colonoscopy as a teen. I have since had several colonoscopies...all with anesthesia ❤

[somewhrntm]

😮.
That would NOT be me! I have had SEVERAL gastroscopies done. Thank GOD for Propofal❣️

[RiqochetRoseTarot]

She is strong! I use to be a Endoscopy Technician and out of 10 years, one person could do this EGD without meds lol

[Spartos]

She sure definitely practices. She’s the head department champion 😂😂😂
