[quote=Anonymous]I was like this too -- -because of too many caselaw studies in Torts class (law school negligence/liabilities class). I read too many cases of surgeries gone awry. Well, I needed a lumpectomy (breast) while in law school. I said "No" to the general anesthesia... meaning I was fully alert for the lumpectomy! Bad move! It didn't really hurt so much, but I could feel all the "pulling" -- and hear the discussion of the surgeon and the student doctor.... not good. Since then I've had the sedation (propofol) and general anethesia.... and they are delightful. I worried about throwing up when coming out... or other problems.. like sore throat. None of that has ever happened to me. It's just been like -- I'm alert and awake, and then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in the recovery room. So, try not to let your imagination run away from you. You are one of millions and millions... and you are going to go in and come out just fine. [/quote]
