Can a patient refuse sedation?

[Web-G.I.nurse]

My G.I. want to use Versed for a long colonoscopy.

Even tho my last colonoscopy was painful,i don't think i want to be sedated with weird meds.

patient can refuse or ask for anything they want. It is your body and you say what is done to it and how. I personally will never have any form of invasive procedure for any reason but that is my choice, I'll take my chances.
