That was what I based my last post on.
"She said Diamond received a triple dose of sedatives - an oral agent, an intravenous drug and nitrous oxide gas - during her treatment."

Almost always done that way, that wasn't the problem. To someone without a degree who thinks they know better I'm sure it seems a lot
Seriously though don't assume you know better until you do some research into it. A degree doesn't mean all that much, but it shows you at least have a backround in the field. If you go by what a reporter tells you, and reporters seem to be reporters because they are unqualifed to do anything practical, you are asking to be missled.

I'm not a true sedation expert, I haven't used it since dental school, but IV was almost always a drip of some kind. The benifit being if there is an emergency you can quickly change doses or give another medication.
