But I've never had my stomach pumped. At least I don't think I have. When I was a teen I drank activated charcoal, threw it all up and then had to drink it again. It was nasty. But nope, no tubes down my nose or my throat. Can this be done when the patient is unconscious or do they just not practice it anymore? I've woken up with urinary catheters and woken up hooked up to a ventilator down my throat but don't recall any mention of gastric lavage or whatever it's called. Maybe there's a point when the drugs are in your system already and then theres no point! I'm not sure.

You have the option to drink it, if you can. It taste so horrible. I couldn't do it. But no. They don't put you to sleep. If you don't remember, it means you was too messed up to remember or your brain put that in the trauma area where you don't remember.
