apparently smoking weed regularly can make anesthetics less effective too. when I had to get put under recently (nothing serious), I was aware about that and told them ahead of time. they gave me a dose that apparently was supposed to put me completely out, and I just sat there for at least a full minute, fully conscious but incredibly relaxed, before they realized they would have to give me more. and then I definitely started to wake up in the middle and had just the briefest, vaguest awareness that they were moving around me before I was out again, so I assume they gave me more at that point. and then when I woke up after they were like "wow, already?"
Uhh… yeah this is exactly why you do a t-break for 72 hours before a surgery. Your life is the one at risk though, but your gonna traumatize a lot of workers if things go worst case for you. Best case, you’re a hassle and everyone hates you.
Or just tell the anesthesiologist what drugs you take on a regular basis like you're supposed to.
It's kinda besides the point. The reason we pay anaesthesiologists so much is because dosing incorrectly is lethal.
Telling them you smoke weed doesnt just shift the amount required to knock you out, it lowers the threshold of what is safe.
An anaesthesiologist is riding the razors edge of consciousness, and is trying to keep the dosage as low as possible.
Waking up in the middle of surgery is more common than most people expect, and most people who wake up are not actually aware they woke up at all because of the amnesia inducing drugs they use (usually benzos).
Fun fact for those still reading:
It's not really like "I forgot what happened", it's more like "I never remembered in the first place"; consider a PlayStation without a memory card.
Aka anterograde amnesia, not filing things into long-term memory.
So no saving to disk, got it.
I'd argue you had a bad anaesthesiologist
Should've strapped you the first time.
Unless in the US, in which case if you wake up you may be in jail. Decisions, decisions...
there's still doctor patient confidentiality, even if trump is slowly eroding that for example for abortion.
Please don’t spread misinformation, I’ve taken someone to the ER high in the Deep South (probably highest risk place to be caught high or with drugs in the US) and disclosed what they’d taken, all he got was proper treatment. Taking drugs should never stop you from seeking medical help if you need it, the doctors and nurses don’t want to snitch on you for it.
yes, I know, and I did. what I had read was not to smoke for at least three days, I decided to do four. I asked the doctor like two weeks in advance if there was anything else I should do, he said no, it should be fine. everyone was aware of everything and all the doc's instructions were followed. obviously I didn't go in stoned
Assumption seems like projection?
I’ve never had any issues with anesthesia as a chronic user (I always disclose and modify usage as requested as well), but I live in a recreationally legal state so the anesthesiologists here might just have more experience working around it. Or I might be lucky/you might be unlucky, who knows why the hell anything happens to the human body
This is basically the premise of Cabin in the Woods, isn’t it? Though it’s not clear exactly what the guy was smoking.
