General Anesthesia

774 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’ve had general anaesthetic a few times.

They wheel you into the room where the anaesthetist is. He will put something in your IV, assuming it’s already been prepared.

Then he will ask you a few small talk questions or ask you to count backwards from 100.

I don’t think I’ve made it to 95 before suddenly waking up in recovery.

The only negative experience i ever had was after getting my wisdom teeth out but that was because I could smell my own horrible breath in the oxygen mask. Each time I took it off to reduce the smell…. Bam right back unconscious
