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?
In: 90
perfectly normal i was the exact same
whilst i know that wanting to be pre warned i would advise that, unless one turns up here, speak to your anaesthesiologist when you are in the hospital. in my case he sat with me for a good 15-20 minutes answering all the questions that i had about the process. he finished by assuring me that he would be by my side throughout the whole process and that once it was done the nurses would keep a close eye on me as i was coming around
he even offered to do the ‘count backwards from 100’ thing from the movies, apparently it’s not the done thing anymore but a lot of people ask for it anyway
