Versed (Midazolam, Dormicum, Hypnovel) has caused a number of people to complain about how it is used and the undesirable side effects it presents. Versed appears to get an unusually high number of complaints. This site is intended to provide discussion, support and to warn others. (It is not intended to be a forum for debate.)
As an anesthesiologist, I found your website early on in my training. And while I am not 100% anti-versed, I do understand the issues that you represent. When taking care of my own patients, I do keep in mind that not everyone needs versed and real education needs to happen if versed is to be given as an option, just like any other informed consent.
I have written up sort of a history of how versed has gotten to be where it is at in the milieu of pre-op medication. The target audience of my blog is anesthesiologists and other perioperative staff. I mention your webpage and urge readers to consider all the information the next time they reach to give versed.
