General Anesthesia

776 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?

It’s normal to be nervous, but modern anesthetics are very safe when used properly, and there are people in the operating room whose only job is to ensure they’re being used properly.

I’ve been under before. But I can’t tell you what it feels like, because I don’t remember anything. I don’t even remember *nothing*. The doc asked me to count backwards from ten, I think I got to like six or something, and then I was in recovery and the surgery was over. It’s like the time in between just didn’t happen.
