Imagine...

Imagine having a mask held tightly to your face, with gas blowing on to your face, making its way into your lungs.

Imagine someone opening your mouth, wide open. Putting a laryngeal mask airway down your throat. Imagine someone slowly inflating the cuff, making the mask settle deep in your throat.

Imagine that overwhelming feeling of exitment of beeing anaesthetised, intubated and operated on

I had some surgery recently that required general anaesthetic, and I wasn't particularly worried about it, but there is always a chance that something goes wrong and I suddenly found myself thinking about how if I died on the table, I would never know how my current book ended. And honestly, if that is what was going to be my big regret, then I think I'm living my life exactly how I want to be

TW: medical, surgery, anaesthesia

I just had the idea of a Whumpee who is far too triggered by being touched in any way at all even by Caretaker being put under for surgery. And Caretaker quietly cutting the front of their hair before they wake up.

It's a hack job. It looks terrible because it was done so quick and so gingerly. But Whumpee is nevertheless so grateful to have their matted hair out of their face.

Some choice quotes from today's lecture on obstetric anaesthesia:

"Pregnant women are almost like humans, but not quite"

"We used to top them up in the ward before we moved to OP. But we had a girl stop breathing in the elevator, so now we top them after the elevator"

(talking about emergency c-cuts) "We only give opiates to those with Pre-eclampsia. We're nice like that. Also they get cerebral bleeding if we don't."

Protip for those about the go under anesthesia for whatever reason

Pee first. Especially if you already have just a slight urge.

The orderly to take me down for my most recent scopes was about to come and I didn't want to make them wait at the first minor bladder signal, and scopes normally only last like forty-five minutes (mine ended up over an hour because of all the biopsies needed, but honestly it really didn't matter) so I figured I'd just go after the procedure

I woke up and IMMEDIATELY had to void my bladder. Unfortunately, my legs wouldn't work because I literally just came out of anesthesia and so I had to use a bedpan for the first time of my life and it was. Not great. And a lot. And then after I was taken back to my room less than a half hour later I had to go immediately again. Like a lot. Like goddamn. I didn't know a bladder could hold so much let alone my own bladder. Sweet Jesus

Anyway, pee first. Surgery later

Went to the dentist today for a root canal

And I swear to god

Anaesthesia is a blessing.

(for positive things only, not the shady things)

My right side is numb and I didn't feel any pain. Grateful and happy.

My right side of the nose is also a little numb

Hoping there won't be any pain after the anaesthesia wears off

I saw in your bio that you're an aspiring anaesthesiologist

Do you know the story behind the discovery of anaesthesia? It's really interesting and dramatic, if you don't know it you should definitely look it up

Hi anon! I do know a bit about it although probably not as much as I should haha.

Also this has made me realise i should change my bio because I've actually started anaesthetics training now! (Although unfortunately that means I have to get through a year of acute med and A&E first before I actually get into the anaesthetics properly)
