Now That's Kind of ScaryDaily Pundit shares an interesting factoid about anesthetics found here:
If this sort of thing interests you... then read the whole thing which describes how doctors think they work. Personally what I find scary is that we've been using them for this long and still don't know how they work... especially since they think they put your brain into a form of hypoxia (oxygen deprivation). Kinda makes you rethink going under the knife doesn't it?
I could be very wrong here, but my piano teacher (whose sister is an anaesthesiologist at a major teaching hospital here) described her sister's work as poisoning a person into a coma. This sister also practices acupuncture, as there apparently is a lot to that as well.
Post a Comment
After having come out of anaesthesia sicker than a dog, and having had two animals die from anaesthesia, I am fearful to the point of avoiding the doctor on some problems that would require a possible surgical solution. |
