A: Nurse/Doctor B: Nicole

A: Are you ready to go into the procedure room?

B: Yes.

A: Did you put all your clothes, shoes, and belongings in the bag?

B: Yep. It’s right there.

A: Okay, I will bring it to the recovery room. Once you are done with your procedures, you will be transferred to the recovery room.

Hi, nice to see you again! I’m Dr. Johnson. How are you doing now?

B: I’m good.

A: Awesome. This is the medical team hereto help you with the procedure. We are going to give you some sedation drugs first. You will be awake the whole time. The drugs are to reduce any pain you might have and relax your mind.

B: All right.

A: We are going to give you 2 types of sedation drugs, one is to reduce the pain, and the other one will help you relax. You’ll feel like you’ve had a couple of drinks.

B: But I never drink alcohol, so I don’t know what it feels like.

A: Oh, then you will soon find out.

B: Oh, I feel so dizzy. I can’t open my eyes.

A: This is normal. Just relax.

Your heart rate is quite low. Are you a runner?

B: Yes, I am.

A: I see. So during the procedure, we might ask you to do a few big coughs. You think you can do that for me?

B: Cough?

A: Yes. Big cough.

There you go.
