A member asked:

Do i have to bring someone along, or can i drive after the laryngoscopy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can drive: Most laryngoscopies are straightforward procedures performed in the doctor's office. Since sedation is usually not needed, most patients are free to drive as soon as the test is complete. If any doubt, it is best to check with your physician ahead if time.
