Did you not read the part about a Fent derivative being injected into his spine? It's kind of the whole point of the follow-up text.
It's that a properly administered epidural or spinal anesthesic wouldn't work that way.
NERDERY INCOMING
An epidural injects a numbing agent just outside of the spinal cord. The intent is to numb the nearby nerves as the anesthetic slowly diffuses into their roots and their corresponding section of spinal cord. It should not go into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
What they're likely doing is an intrathecal injection for a spinal anesthesic, which does go into the CSF. That intensely numbs a portion of the body and is more common for surgery while conscious. The reason it's done is it's very effective while also using extremely small amounts of anesthetic. In other words, you barely feel it locally, much less systemically, because so little is used. That's the point.
You might ask how I know all of this. I've had three. The account in the original post is full of shit.
classic tumblr
It must be me being stupid then, because I thought he got both. By using the word injected, I thought he was administered two things. That's what I get for reading words.
You read what they wrote correctly, it's just not true. That's nothing to do with you.
