In that sleep of death what dreams may come

Propofol is a milky-white drug that sedates patients beautifully.  I like propofol!  Its short half-life makes neuro assessments easy;  it controls hypertension and its soy base even provides some nutrition. 



But since Michael Jackson's death, I just gotta add this:

1.  Propofol is used ONLY IN A HOSPITAL'S ICU
2.  Propofol is used ONLY ON VENTILATED PATIENTS
3.  The only other exception is when it is used during conscious sedation BY A PHYSICIAN WITH DEEP SEDATION PRIVILEGES

Trust me--I'm right about this.
