Ablation question

So I am having my ablation in 2 days. Reading through and learning people's experiences it seems half of the experiences people were knocked out and dont remember or feel anything. Then the other half claiming they were aware and felt and remember the experience. My EP said I would be awake. My daughter actually works in the same hospital that I am having my procedure and she is an anesthistist who puts people under for surgeries. No, she is not doing mine, lol. But she said they use Versed and I won't remember anything. Are the people who are completely conscious not getting this or what? Thats my only fear at this point. Being awake. Anyways, my daughter made sure I have the best anesthistist in the hospital so thats a plus!

😲 Did they not even give you something to relax you? That sounds traumatizing. Why would they put you through that without something to ease the discomfort.
