General Anesthesia

798 views

I’m going under general for the first time in two weeks for a brain biopsy.

Explain it and how it’s safe.

I’m not scared of the biopsy, just the general.

Is that normal?

I worked in pre surgical services a lifetime ago and supported a team of anesthesiologists. They saw high risk patients weeks before surgery to make sure they got the green light. These guys (and gals) go to school at least TWELVE years before they are solely responsible for keeping patients alive. It’s a truly specialized profession. The experience as a patient is scary the 1st time bc of the unknown but it’s over in the blink of an eye and you remember nothing.
