The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if patient administered propofol sedation results in superior patient satisfaction compared to standard conscious sedation in advanced therapeutic endoscopy. • Does self administration of the sedative propofol increase patient satisfaction? Researchers will compare patient administered propofol sedation (where the patient administers propofol by pushing a button) with standard conscious sedation Participants will: * Be randomized to either sedation route. * Answer a preendoscopy questioneere and a postendoscopy questioneere 1 hour after the examination as well as one week after the examination.
