How Anesthesia Works
“If you are faced with the possibility of needing surgery in the future, chances are you will need some type of anesthesia to go along with it. There are many different types of anesthesia. Which one you will need depends on a variety of factors such as the type of surgery you are having and your state of health. Some surgical procedures require only an injection of local anesthesia into the incision area. Other procedures cannot be performed unless you are completely anesthetized — unconscious and unaware of pain. Your anesthesiologist will tell you which type of anesthesia you need.”
I’m still waiting for the day when doctors can simply run a scanner across your body and heal from above. I’m sure it’s coming… (ever optomist that I am) But until then, I at least prefer to know what’s going on and where I am! I have heard too many scary stories, not to want to know!
