I snored through my last surgery. The surgeon made it a point to tell me it was a first for him.
-
Your premise may be true, but good restorative sleep is healthier and may make the post operative course smoother. I think we’d like to encourage healthy habits prior to surgery, which is a stressful event.
-
I’ve heard that sleep deprivation prior to surgery raises the chance of higher post surgical delirium and pain levels.
-
I think for most people it's difficult to get a good night sleep when you're nervous about a surgery.
-
My last surgery was planned for 12:30. Surgeons weren't ready so I popped on my headphones, played a remix on repeat and woke up 2 hours later while being wheeled into the operation room :D No stress, no anxiety. Would recommend.

I had been up in excruciating pain for 38 hours until they finally put me in surgery, I explain to them my liver condition. Of course they didn’t believe me, but they were pretty surprised when I open my eyes real wide when I woke up in the middle of the surgery. Doesn’t matter how tired I was my liver still going to kick everything out of my body so fast and I can’t explain that any further because no one wants to believe it until it happens then they believe it.

I am grateful for anesthesiologists. They prevented my labor cramps
-
I always wake up feeling like I just had the best nap EVER, and I struggle to fall asleep the night after surgery. I feel all hyped up.
-
Remember, your paying for the knowledge to wake you up, not the medicine that puts you to sleep
-
That discount remark was hilarious loooooolll 🤭🤣...good one Doc 🙌
-
i’m terrified of being paralyzed but conscious and feeling it during surgery
-
This guy is the type of doctor I hope I get when I go into the ER.
-
I don't have a choice, I'm always too nervous to sleep. I have a major surgery in a couple weeks and am still having trouble.
-
As a person who's had many surgeries unfortunately, this is so true. I stay up all night with anxiety and then when it's time to put me under I don't even make it to 5 before I'm knocked the hell out lol Then when I wake up I feel like a brand new person that could fight Superman 😂😂
-
I found this channel right after I had surgery 2 weeks ago. Its a really stressful and scary experience but I am glad there are anesthesiologists out there that really care about what they do. These videos have made me feel less anxiety about the entire process,even Post-op. 😊
-
Your whole demeanor is relaxing, man. If I was scared about to go under, I would want a dude like you in charge.
-
I never sleep the night prior before going under and always wake up from surgery like I had a year's worth of sleep. So refreshed and ready for Starbucks lol. Weird, but I look forward to it when I know I'm gonna have surgery.
-
Easier said than done Doc, especially when one is anxious as hell the day(s) before! Guess you better break out the tranquilizer gun for me.. lol 😂
-
I have a little tradition of staying up all night before my spine surgeries and listening to music and writing. Its like a last little moment with coherent before I'll be knocked out on drugs for 3 weeks

You're excited talking shows how much you have passion for your work i love it 💕
