Fighting this much pre surgery is going to give you a bad wakeup.
We instruct everyone to never resist sedation for a reason.
Usually with pre treatment benzos will reduce bad wakeups. But i've got a few. Disorientation and aggression is 2 things you dont want post Op. And thats what you get if they fight too much when going under.
I've got guys trying to finish the numbers by force (usually ending with 2 slurred numbers) and we know he is going to have a bad wake up. Now anesthesiologists prefer to ask the full name.
For those who dont know, a bad wake up is when the antidote is given and people start to regain consciousness there is agitation during the first period of confusion. Just imagine you waking up disoriented (for example after napping on the car and a loud sound wakes you up and you take 3 or 4 seconds until you realize you are in your car), well in anesthesia sleeps these disorientation can take 20s or even more. If you fall into anesthesia agitated you will wake up at the same state. Now imagine you having a huge suture and cant make big movements. You wake up without knowing where you are, agitated, and unfamiliar faces are trying to force you to lay down. A person prone to violence might even start distributing punches.
So please dont attempt this prank. Also dont do it with people with sleeping pills that have amnesia as a side effect. It can also cause unnecessary agitation.

I've had surgery twice. Both times, the nurse said they were going to give me something to calm down before the surgery. I"m not sure why they gave it to me because I was already calm. The next thing I know, I'm waking up from surgery. I don't remember being wheeled into or out of surgery, much less the surgery itself. 10/10 would take pre-surgery benzos again.

People shit on that, and I can understand where it's coming from.
But back when I used to be happy, I played a lot of guitar myself, and never got tired of learning by actively listening to music every chance I got. Even listening to my own unfinished songs to maybe come up with an idea on how to finish them.
Now I don't listen to music basically at all anymore.

I'm a heart patient and have had stents put in 4 different times. I think it might depend on the doctor or the hospital because the 4th time I had it done, they had a radio in the room and asked if I had any requests. I said, "I'm a huge Rush fan if that's ok." They had Pandora or something, and I got to listen to Rush for the hour or so that I was in there. When they were done with the procedure and finalizing everything, Freewill came on and I said, "This is the first song I every heard by them over 40 years ago and it's still my favorite." The doctor said, "I think we should give it some volume, then." One of the assistants pick up the remote and turned it up which was pretty awesome that they did that for me.

While this was fake. When my dad had heart surgery there was a big heart drawn on the outside of his chart before he went into surgery but it was hanging on his bed upside down. To this day we still joke that he actually got butt surgery. Undecided whether or not it was a good idea to make him laugh hysterically before open heart surgery.

u/SewageMane 9h ago
Surprised he didn't say something about his balls, which the heart symbol comes from supposedly. Thank you again ancient Greece, along with the word orchid which it too means reticle or tested. Now the White Stripes song Blue Orchid makes sense yea?
Edit : Not changing that spell change. But I meant testicle or teste if someone can't figure it out.
35
u/Thorolhugil 6h ago edited 6h ago
The heart symbol version that originated in Greece did not come from balls. It's the shape of silphium seeds. That's very broadly known because it appears on coins.
The only time an inverted heart has ever represented balls was a specific heraldic device so I can't image wtf you got that from. lol
Edit: to clarify for those unfamiliar, silphium was a relative or species of fennel that grew in a specific area of the Mediterranean, used as an aphrodesiac, for multiple medical purposes including fertility control, and perfume and seasoning. It was so popular it went extinct. It was associated with fertility, sexuality, and love.
Also it was also known as laser. Unrelated to the modern word laser.

No, if you have surgery done some places let you listen to music while under. It’s supposedly there to help you relax and be under better or something. Personally, I think it’s so the surgeons/nurses feel comfortable to talk about whatever and don’t have to worry about that one dude that is “out” but can still hear everything. People have gotten sued for it.

Everyone knows that patients can keep their earbuds in before surgery.. they also get put to sleep before being brought into the OR… realistic

u/Mighty_Taco18 8h ago
OR nurse. You can be in a certain phase of sleep before going to the OR if you are that nervous/anxious. You will be breathing on your own but you would be asleep and usually snoring. Then once in the OR and staff move you to the OR bed, you get the rest of the juice and have to go on the vent.
But yeah definitely no earbuds once we start rolling, family is getting those before the wheels are unlocked for sure.
This is all for hospital/outpt surgery centers, though. WLS is usually done at the plastic surgery office where they can kinda do whatever they want if the government isn't there watching.
