Chill pill?

Does anyone know if doctors will give a Valium or Xanax to calm down a very nervous, scared emotional patient? I have to wait until 4 for my surgery. That's a long time to dwell and be nervous.

Tomorrow is my day. Driving to Tijuana. Crazy scared.

Yes, I asked for something because I spent the night prior to my surgery and figured I wouldn't be able to sleep. They obliged my wish and I slept like a baby
