If that moron really did ask for propofol to be used as a sleep aid he didn't just deserve to die, he wanted to. next to propofol morphine is childrens aspirin.

propofol induces coma, you have to be intubated and it has to be given in a very controlled IV setting it starts your coma less than a minute after being administrated and you come out of it within a few minutes of it being stopped. It has no narcotic hangover and has the added benefit of causing amnesia during use, so even if you did wake up or feel some of the surgery you wouldnt remember it.

Its an amazing drug for anesthesia but only a total idiot would even ask that it be used to induce sleep...it doesnt induce sleep, it induces a coma.
