What are you hoping you'd have done? Know better than the doctor with a license in anesthesia? Tell him to stop because you know better than he does? *snip*

Point well taken. The outcome would have surely been the same. I think I'd want to be in there for moral support for my daughter. I would not expect to know more than the expert. I know my daughter would be scared to be sedated. I would stand quietly on the side, just to be there while the sedation was taking place. I'd probably leave while the doctor was doing the procedure because I'd get queasy watching. I would also want to be there when she woke up. I remember getting my wisdom teeth extracted. My mom stayed with me until I was sedated and was there when I woke up. It was greatly appreciated. (Thanks Mom!)
I feel bad for the family as well as that doctor. I can't imagine how he feels.
