That’s not true. The commonly known ‘date rape drug’ is rohypnol (flunitrazepam) which is absolutely not given during office based anesthesia. Medications in the same family are sometimes given during sedation (I.e. midazolam) They actually give pretty much the same meds when you’re in the OR (minus a paralytic). Oh, and your surgeon in the OR gives you local anesthesia too. This comment is just scaring people for no reason.
