I get psychotic upon coming to after anesthesia. Last time I was convinced I was a spy captured by the KGB and was trying to break off a piece of the bed to beat the nurse to death with so I could make my escape.

The nurses with the thickest skin are PACU nurses. Because while going under might be relatively effortless, the brain gets *twiggy as gently caress* when you come out of it. The first thing you want when you come out of anesthesia is to 1) sit up, and 2) drink water, neither of which are a good idea for very good reasons, especially if you've just had specific surgeries where #1 *really* isn't a good idea. Your brain is also still very out of order and your "don't do/say that" filter is out to a long lunch. Case in point: ^^^^^^ BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Feb 24, 2021 |

I've never been under general anesthesia but I have a red beard and I'm worried that whole red hair / anathesia resistance thing will hit me. My plan has always been to grow out my beard if I ever need to go under. Now that I'm middle aged and only getting older I'm like okay, two part plan 1) beard and 2) just for men

You generally have time to say something to the anesthesiologist before he/she starts pushing meds.

I'm very excited for Haaland though, Trump's DOI did a tremendous amount of damage and Haaland is probably one of the best, most progressive choices Biden could have made to fix it. Doesn't hurt either that it's a historic and incredibly important nomination for natives in our country.

When I got my wisdom teeth out, I didn't remember a single thing, even though I don't think it was a full-blown knockout. Apparently I was a real bastard, trying multiple times to remove the line from my own hand and fighting the folks a bit.

When I had my ACL reconstruction/meniscectomy a number of years ago, my last sensation after they gave me the general anesthesia juice was feeling it travel up my veins, and then my last thought was “Whoa, this is weird. Is this what dying feels like? AW CRA-“ Next thing I know I’m awake in the recovery ward and shivering violently, which was apparently my body reacting to the trauma of the knee surgery even if I couldn’t feel it. A shot of Dilaudid and I was off to see the wizard again! I don’t like being put under and the opiate nightmare/night terror that I had two weeks later scared me off of Vicodin and Percocet for good. Good thing I do nice safe activities that don’t carry a high risk of injury like mountain biking!

So I don't want to get it wrong again. Ideally one takes the allegation seriously regardless. Treating the allegation & investigation seriously doesn't have to involve believing one thing or the other up front.

I got very upset when I came out of anesthesia and the nurse called me 'terrifying'. I did go from unconscious to awake with no noises and joined in the convo, so to her (and my wife, who agreed I was accidentally scary) I went from dead to being a dick with nothing in between. I heard them say something about 'no water activities', and I opened my eyes with the first words out of my mouth being, "I'll scuba if I want. You're not my doctor." For the next few hours, I kept telling my wife the nurse hurt my feelings, and that I'm not scary. (Note- I am in fact, unintentionally scary, as has been relayed to me by numerous people. But I'm like a teddy bear.)

I've got two relatives down my mothers' side that went into hypothermia while under anesthesia, one died from it, the other had to be revived twice before the dental surgeon stopped trying to pull the tooth. He's dead now too, heart failure, but managed to park his cherry Monte Carlo before croaking. So yeah, I'll probably be awake for anything not major surgery. I was awake for my wisdom teeth pull, just local and anti-inflammatories.

There's been some fascinating research in to anesthesia over the last decade or two and how things work/don't work. Current best guess from what I've read is that the brain in general kind of operates on, call it a "high frequency", of all the individual brain components chattering back and forth at each other constantly to create one larger "whole" system and anesthesia slows stuff down to "low frequency" operating mode where all the components are still talking but by the time it reaches the destination everything else just kinda goes, "umm, wtf is that who are you want do you want me to do with this?" Research has been heading in the direction of thinking that while the head shed is totally empty when you're under so the signals aren't reaching any coherent central point, the rest of the nervous system is still experiencing trauma such as "oh gently caress my chest has been sliced open, my ribs cracked and ratcheted in to a new position and now my heart just stopped" and that this may be causing problems in of itself.

I'm watching newshour and Jon Tester, D-MT is making the case for $15/hr, but just pushed down the road to some sweet spot in time that benefits everyone because small businesses, you see. I make $14 an hour and every day the small business that employs me gets to take back $7 for my break and we have all agreed to call it "lunch" and that it is for my benefit But yeah yeah sure we'll both be better off if the minimum wage bump comes like ten years from now

This is kinda why I elected for general over twilight for my wisdoms. I had an amazing post-surgery experience, never took more than two of my Vicodin and was (cautiously) eating solid food 36 hours later. Even if I can't *consciously* remember four teeth being ripped from my mouth, pretty sure my subconscious would.

Not an immediately-post-anesthesia experience, but had a fun time a couple days after a major surgery with general anesthesia. I was still hopped up on some powerful meds and woke one morning to find I was standing upright on a blood-splattered floor, having removed one of my IVs. On top of that was a rapidly fading delusion that I was the protagonist in L. Ron Hubbard's "Mission: Earth" series and urgently needed to pursue the antagonist (which I announced loudly). Hooboy did that all freak some people out. On the plus side, easily the most painless IV removal I've ever had. Didn't feel it coming out and zero irritation afterwards.

I was at a colonoscopy clinic in Brazil and I guess as I was being wheeled out, I looked at the guy being wheeled in - and yelled out in Portuguese "yo bro - good luck" Apparently the nurse and my wife thought that was hilarious.

boop the snoot posted:But what do we need it for? Just because we can invent space lasers that will start fires in California, that doesn’t mean we should. Ok, setting aside the "lol the US loves war" stuff, if we actually want the capability to gain and maintain air superiority against anything CLOSE to a peer adversary, hell, anyone who can afford to buy toys built after 1991 from near-peer adversaries, you have to be able to bomb the gently caress out of those toys. And we have eighteen B-2s, and a fuckton of fighter-bombers designed at the tail end of the Vietnam War when the SA-2 was the one to worry about. The F-22 is how you push the enemy fighters out of the way, the F-35 is how you gently caress poo poo up on the ground so you can do things like provide CAS or CASevac or stop the enemy from dropping bombs on our dudes. No American has died to an enemy air strike since April 1953 and that's not an accident. It's because seventy years ago we decided we were going to throw money at this problem instead of just feeding the troops into a 3-dimensional meat grinder. I don't know who she is, but I completely agree with her. Godholio fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Feb 25, 2021 |

Sure, but Iraq is the only opponent in that list that had a substantial number of planes (ex. the VVS in Korea which had some pretty tight restrictions on usage). Like, North Vietnam had around 100 for most of the war. I'd argue for anyone but Iraq, we'd have had a substantially similar outcome with a much smaller air force.
