![🔥 Can You Name the 4 Types of Anesthesia in UNDER 1 MIN? [General, Sedation, Local]](/img/1.gif)
I went into surgery singing on purpose a song that my anesthesiologist said he sang for Karaoke. I woke up still singing and remember everyone smiling at me in recovery. My Doc on the follow up appointment told me gleefully that I “serenaded the team through the whole procedure “! 😂😂😂
I’m a vocalist in real life btw
😂😂😂😂😂 love it
😂 that's awesome!
I sing all the time, always have. I've done myself up singing in my sleep or hearing music and I wake to turn it down and realize it's in my head, now I wonder if I sing while under... I've never been told but I wake up super fast side and ready to leave so it would make sense that I sing as well... I guess you're still an excellent singer while under though or they would've been less smiley? 🤣😬
That's awesome as I see you can sing. I, however can't carry a tune in my purse so I hope I don't do that to them next week when I have foot surgery! That would be horrible for them and embarrassing for me LOL 🤐😊
I could listen to this Doctor for hours. And he is so cute too. Love the information he gives. He seems like a kind doctor.
😅
As cute as he is, and he most certainly is, my surgeon for an exploratory procedure for a possible pancreatic issue, was super distracting. I think I told him so. He acted like I was just another fan. Ok. But he was not impressed with his lack of findings. He didn't even take the time to come by post Sx. The nurse in recovery said he couldn't figure out why I was there. I was fine. Wow. Looks ...plus
Bedside... minus
I like the way he wears a dark wedding ring there.
@user-kh5yo8mr3n it's rubber. It won't arc if there's any static electricity
..which there is anyway, but at least HE won't cause it. Also they flex so if it gets hung on machinery, it won't rip his finger. My son in law has to wear one like that at work.
@@PleaseNThankYou Yep. Just being a jerk.
This doc is so nice to listen to and easy on the eyes. But more importantly, he is an awesome doctor!
Yep, intelligent, friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate works for me. & Yep, he is handsome, bonus!
Keep your panties on Granma!
I'm the kind of patient that hits on the anesthesiologist. 🫣😅 His voice is so soothing. I think I could fall in love, as I drift off to lala land.
My cousin had a panic attack before going into knee replacement surgery. They gave him something to calm him down. Once he was calm he asked us if women had organisms when they have mamograms. We all laughed until we were crying and the poor nurse/anesthesiologist couldn’t keep a straight face. My cousin denied all after surgery
Organisms or orgasms? Big dif, right? 😅😅
That's Epic. Benzodiazepines Like midazolame could be the First med you get before surgery and you sleep or Tell anyone weird Things and have memory loss 😂 (Germany, Maybe US is another Medication)
😂😂😂😂
You had anesthesia for a mammogram?
😂
Such a breath of fresh air to have an empowering perspective from a doctor. Thank you!
During a hysterectomy, for which I had a spinal and sedation, I woke up. I tried to sit up and asked if they had started yet. The anesthesiologist pushed my head back down and yelled “yes, we have started!”, and promptly put me back to sleep. Bet that surprised them.
They definitely still talk about it to this day haha
Hilarious. 😂
Lmbo... 😂
When my breast cancer surgery was finished, I was told I was hard to console after thinking I had hurt my son-in-law's feelings. I was saying I was so sorry and nothing calmed me until they had called him into the area before I was taken to recovery, which I then calmed down after he assured me all was okay. There was a situation that had occurred a year earlier. Hard to believe that was so buried.
After my double mastectomy, I woke up crying my eyes out and couldn't stop for a long time. Great heaving sobs. I had not cried until then, or even let myself process my feelings about the cancer and the surgery. I was told that Ketamine caused the tears. But I am so grateful I was able to express those feelings (and without breaking any stitches). The nurse was an absolute angel of compassion and patience.
I have never used illegal drugs, nor been a heavy drinker, but I have become aware during surgery, during four out of five surgeries, and talked to the doctors. I was only six years old the first time it happened. Furthermore, when I've had dental work done, it has taken a long time for the deadening agent to work, and then it has worn off, quickly. I'm not afraid of the medical and dental procedure, themselves, but I dread the prospect of being aware. The last time I had surgery, the doctor thought that I must be a drug addict, and refused me pain meds. I begged for pain relief, and finally began yelling. The head nurse eventually pulled the doctor out of surgery, and made him sign the orders for pain meds. I dread the thought of ever needing another surgery.
That sounds like my story. I've never used drugs or been an addict of any kind but I have a naturally strange tolerance to meds that has gotten me accused of things and gaslight ed by the medical community and it has caused me ptsd
I've the redhead gene & that's totally what happens to me at dental procedures. It's a whole process to just get through a procedure & doubles the time needed. I can NOT have laughing gas, immediate migraine! I've had reconstruction surgery on my lip after skin cancer. I was to aware & I loved hearing surgeon to explain what he was doing. The tech told me they had to keep adjusting my stuff due to intolerance. I don't drink, smoke & can't even handle caffeine, or use drugs other than a few OTC, etc. I was given valium during a Mohs procedure and I asked when would it kick in & asked to give me more numbing agent, they were surprised as they were well into the procedure. Post surgery, Vicodin (same with Tylenol) did NOTHING for me. At follow up the surgeon couldn't believe it (I had to remind him of my intolerances). I only took 5 tablets, gave up & surrendered them. He offered another option but I passed. Weeks of pain sucked big time, thank goodness I respond to Ibuprofen!
Redheads appear to have trouble with anaesthesiology.
@@ps4peace Redhead hear. I need Double dosage with nearly every med I Take, anaesthesia and opioids, too.
Same sh*t with benzodiazepines... XanaX Work not under a dosage 5mg or more, Ativan worked at 2,5mg-5mg+ and diazepame 20mg+ .....
If I would be a Heroine addict it would be very expensive for me lol
@@lifeunfiltered4822 Maybe your Liver works very fast for some or all Meds. Or your kidneys, If the med don't really extensive use the liver. Or, If you are Not a thin or Not a small Person, you need a higher dosage, that could be normal and should be No Problem normally...❤
I will say this as well Dr. Kaveh, when I had Ketamine as an induction agent, I noticed at least 2 weeks without Any problems with depression, And I do have problems with depression, same with N2O. Dr. Kaveh, You Rock Bro.!!! I have a 35+ year complicated cancer history, I have been around alot of the best Doctor's, but You Sir, are One of the Finest and caring Anesthesiologist's I have had the chance to hear talk. You Sir, are Blessed!!!
Recently I had a total knee replacement. I know the surgeon personally and the surgical tech is a good friend. I also watched videos/spoke with my surgeon and read lots on TKR. While I am usually terrified of being put to sleep, this surgery was so different. I like to think that being prepared and having people on the surgery team that I knew, made the experience a much more fearless experience. Dr. Kaveh, I truly appreciate your videos. These, too, also relieved my fears.
I am so happy to hear that! It sounds like you were in more control than you thought you might have been. How did the recovery go?
@@MedicalSecrets Today is Week 4 post-op. There are good days and bad days, but good days far out number the bad. Physical therapy is going well; no need for walking assisted devices. Pain us under control. Again, I honestly believe that the support from the surgical team and watching your videos has made this transition easy. I'm 58 and ready to take life by the horns again! Thank you, for being there Dr. Kaveh!!
Well Said 🌟🧡🌟
I woke up during one of my TKRs. It was surreal. The anaesthesiologist was reading. Moved pretty quickly to up my dose though. Haha.
I had open heart surgery 2 years ago (2 heart valves replaced). Im an ER/RN, did my research, knew my surgeon, planned my pain management with my aenethesist and was in the best hospital. I was 100% confident. I was out of bed and walking the next day. 🎉
That is so amazing to hear! Did the rest of your recovery go well?
@@MedicalSecrets oh yes 😀. I discharged myself after 4 days (nurses don't make good patients). My cardio therapy (8 weeks post op) consisted of me travelling alone with my 3 y.o. from Cape Verde to Venice... 1 trip/month for 14 months 🥳. Still going strong! My son likes hearing my 'tin heart' ❤️
I have no idea how I am. But, the nurses put me at ease. I was missing my mom (she was a nurse. I heard her voice in each of the nurses voices so i was peaceful. The last thing i remember telling them on my way out of the recovery room and it was -"That was the best sleep I've had in a long time."
I was an alcholic for a number of years. It's been 23 or 24 years that I've been sober. I have a whole different personality now.
❤
I was a patient in 2020 going through hip replacement
I told my DR I don’t want to see any cameras lights action (even though it was robotic)and he made it happen.
I arrived in pre op and the anesthesia Dr gave me something to make me not see and hear anything.
I woke up in my room TG 🙏
Monday, I went under general anesthesia plus medicine to paralize me to have bladder cancer tumors removed. I woke up after surgery in a lot of pain due to my arthritis. I was fighting them and trying to lay on my right side to make the pain less. They kept telling me no, but when they let me lie on my side, I was much better.
I would probably be chatting through the whole thing. I'm 69. I started talking in sentences at 10 months. My dad always said I never shut up. I thought they named the Chatty Cathy doll after me. Talking with others, to my cats, or to myself....talk day and night. I had surgery under a local to have a cyst removed and chatted with the nurses and attending staff through the entire procedure. Don't know if I would say anything inappropriate, but I would be shocked if my doctor told me I didn't talk. 😂
Yes, my dad called me, motor mouth. The Chat Cathy Doll was my nemesis in elementary school
i took a little music player in with me that last two times, it clipped onto my top and i used ear plugs, i loaded it with NA chants from my friends who sang them and sent them to me. Its hard to be uneasy when familiar voices are playing in your ears, I was very relaxed and I did just fine.
When I was 17 the doctors put me under and when I came to they told me that I just kept quoting The Wife of Bath’s Tale at them 🤣
I've had many surgeries over my 77 years. Normally, I kind of look forward to it because it's the deepest sleep ever and the greatest muscle relaxer. However, I just had a detached retina and had to have it repaired. As I began waking up, I realized there was something covering everything but my left eye and that included my mouth and nose. For the first time ever, I felt a moment of panic because at first my thought was, "I'm buried alive!" Then a nurse spoke and I realized I must not be buried alive, but my next thought was, "No, it's a body bag!". Then, just as quickly I remembered I had oxygen and I could breath. That has never happened before. Usually, I kind of fight waking up - especially when I was young, worked full time and had children! It only took seconds to go through this process, but it still seems a bit disturbing.
My anxiety comes and goes around surgeries predominately from being the first survivor in Australia of a person in a family with no history of Malignant hyperpyrexia of anesthesia back in late 1980s (even after having lots of operations as a kid). Fortunately, after an accident at the beginning of COVID I ended up having 6 operations in 14 months, my Anaesthetists for all these operations and mid process approved me spending the night before the next operation in the hospital and provided some relaxants, which was very helpful. Unfortunately due to a complication, for the final set of operations I had to go into the hospital a week before the surgery for antibiotic coverage, and the Anaesthetists was able to drop in during the weeks after he had days of surgery and go through his plan in more details than usual, which was great and my anxiety reduced.
Not only was I the first survivor of an unknown family history from an attack, we were the 13th family in Australia to be diagnosed with the condition (my father was the carrier). The upside is we seem to get a lot of preparation care when we have operations.
My care team was so nice and trying all kinds of things to make me more comfortable before my surgery… heated blankets, playing calm music, talking softly to me with what’s happening around me, holding my hand when they were having problem finding my vein, and I sort of remember someone petting my forehead before I drift off…
I have had more surgeries than I can count. I love hearing all about this. Thank you. It truly does help my anxiety over surgery since I know more about it.
I love your Livestreams and I'm so grateful that you do this for us -- and your inspirational posts!😁 Thank you for sharing with us.
I love ❤️ the sound of his voice & his smile!

You get cold because they keep the ORs cold because the doc/nurse, etc have to wear layers they are working under those warm lights , the number of people in the room elevates the room and all the machines are generating heat as well. I'm really surprised he didn't mention this. I've had several surgeries and all of the rooms were always freezing cold.
It’s also kept cold because of bacteria, which grows in heat
I pray that I never did anything. But I just wish that we had more connection with the anesthesiologist because they are the ones that keep us alive. I hate the fact that we can’t communicate with them afterwards or nobody ever knows their name to tell us so that we can re-search and find them or get their business card, so that if I had great service without anesthesiologist, I could try to see if I could have them again, I just hate it that there’s such a disconnect with the anesthesiologist and the patients I feel like it’s made to be believed that you don’t have the right to know who your anesthesiologist is and you don’t have the right to file a complaint if there was a problem because all anesthesiologists are contracted out they either are not work with the hospital. They just have a contract with the hospital, but you can’t get their name you can’t get the information of what service they work for so that you can contact the service so if I wanted to use that same anesthesiologist again and I go to the same hospital I wanna be able to select that doctor again. I just think the whole thing is really screwed up especially if you get really good care by anesthesiologist and you have gain trust with them. Even after 10 minutes you feel trust with that doctor I feel like you should be allowed to have that doctor again because usually the anesthesiologist is contractor with multiple places and multiple surgical centers so that there’s a chance that you can have them again I’ve had multiple surgeries where I’ve always been able to select the same anesthesiologist, sometimes three or four times because the manager of the clinic that I had surgery at always remember to write down the name of the anesthesiologist in my file in case I came back again she would try to reach out to that anesthesiologist for me for my surgery and they were always accommodating. It really sucks when you can’t have the same doctor that you like this is just a rant that I have even though it doesn’t have anything to do with what the discussion was about but I just feel like I need to say it. 😢😢😢😢❤
Hi from Rochester NY!
I stay awake the night before and try for first slot surgeries and I’m practically asleep as I’m rolled into the room. I hope that’s enough to keep me quiet.
As a redhead I’ve been told I wake up a couple of times in my past and I’m always mortified about saying anything I won’t remember.
Yes doctor this is true and many times we can hear what you all are saying while we’re laying on the table!
YOOOOOOO what a coincidence!!! I woke up trying to high five and party with my doctors. 🥼 They told me to settle down rather sternly. 😂 AND I remembered it!!! When I fully awakened and the doc came to report his findings I apologized and told him I was SO embarrassed!!!!!!!!!!! I have been under MANY times and this was my first time acting like I was at the disco!!!!!
Could've been worse! 😎
I've had 3 heart surgeries in past 4 mo, my emotions r still all over the place, is this normal
@@tonyajohnson4301 I would think it’s normal. Any kind of surgery is no joke. There’s a lot that could go wrong and we worry about these things. I wish you well.
@@lulumoon6942 so I’ve heard.
I have had 3 surgeries and only remember going into the surgery room 1 time
This was back in 1980 - only had one ultrasound at 3 months in & no one discussed sex of baby in those days! Didn’t get a printout of ultrasound either, back then. Toronto - WCHosp.
I saw the operating theatre in January 2023, I was being put under general anaesthesia for two scopes. I hadn’t conscented to 2nd proceedure so I was awake in the big theatre, so I could sign. I coukdnt see much due to drapes.
I have ptsd due to trauma. The team was amazing and accommodated me well. I woke up in theatre, with my weighted blanket and my safe cuddly friend which helped mademe feel safe. I was shocked how big the department and how many pre theatre and recovery rooms there was.
Question, does CBD oil ( not canabis) effect anaesthesia too?
Hi Doctor I really enjoy your videos. You exude kindness! I will be receiving GA in the near future and am a little nervous because I am 66 years old with COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. I get positive vibes by watching your channel, thank you!
As an Ehlers Danlos patient I have dealt with extreme drug resistance and histamine / allergic reactions to opioids and other medications all of my life, I have anaphylactic reactions to the wrong meds. I developed a phobia to dentists due to this problem. So far I have yet to meet a doctor or anesthesiologist that understands my illness or the fact I suffer from dysautonomia and require care that is different from the ordinary patient. After a recent bone surgery I nearly coded on my doctor due to a shot of gabapentin that I told her I was reactive to. Needless to say, I eliminated her as my orthopedist after that surgery. I'm sure I gave them an earful since it was a horrifying experience the whole time I was at a trauma center for 6 days since nobody knew about my congenital illness and couldn't be bothered with checking it out on their cellphones, I screamed in pain the entire time I was there, instead they asked me if I was a drug addict, lol. I appreciate your kindness, Dr. Kaveh....I wish more physicians were like you.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information. I love too watch and LISTEN to your videos!
I woke up once and asked the doctor if he was French 😆 he was Irish and I had already spoken to him numerous times before surgery 😂
I'm always zen, I can't wait to be knocked out, but before my hysterectomy I was terrified and shaking, so much so that she gave me something to calm me down. That was the only surgery I was scared of and maybe for good reason. A week into recovery at home I started bleeding and a giant blood clot the size of a softball came out of me. I could see the look of concern on the ER doctor's face and the nurses as they were giving me blood. I had a bleeder that wasn't cauterized properly and they had to pack me with gauze which was awful. I had eaten so the ER doc gave me the option to wait for my doc to come in or he could go in. I chose to wait it out. The doc had the nerve to breeze in and not even say hello, she said "this is the reason we have you sign all those papers". I ended up with two more procedures and in the end it was the handsome nuclear medicine guy that saved me. While I was recuperating, two nurses told me that the same doc has had the same issues with other patients. I did my homework on her ahead of time and didn't find any medical malpractice. Nurses never bash doctor's or say private stuff like that. Anyway, I guess you should trust if you're terrified and wait until you're feeling as good as you can about every aspect of your surgery.
“In the end it was the handsome nuclear medicine guy that saved me.” - LOL!!! Gotta love that!
@@MM-d289 Oh my God, both my husband and I had never seen a more attractive man in our lives lol. I can't remember his name so I just refer to him as "Dr. Vag" 😂😂
So true!
How did you do your homework in advance? I'd like to know what you asked, who to or online, for future surgery for my husband or myself. Thanks!!
@@kathymcmc Check with your states medical license board. You can also do an online search of the doctor's name and put in key words like medical malpractice.
Replaced both shoulders, hip. 2 lumbar discs, cervical fusion,
Toes pinned.
Another new hip in May.
By now, I’m totally ZEN.
Roll me in , roll me out. Thanks.🙏
Hey Doc. Just had my colonoscopy today
This is the first of your videos I've seen. You're excellent with explaining anesthesia, its affects and how we each may react. Even though I've had surgeries and procedures in my 72 years but had no idea that my jokester self might come through. Also, you have an excellent presentation style and communicate well. Thank you for the education.
I thought it was extremely rare to wake up under general anesthesia. I don't believe this guy.
I was at my Dr’s office yesterday, most of the day. So sorry I missed this on line chat, yesterday. Thank you so much, Dr. K. 🌟🧡🌟
When I had my colonoscopy last year, the first one I ever had, and the prep is AWFUL, everybody said oh my Gosh you're going to be so out of it, they don't really put you to sleep sorry, but some people go to sleep, they all said, but you'll feel out of it likely, and it's twilight sleep and what not. I was all excited to feel the thing that keeps me from driving myself home after... And nope. I was wide awake through that whole thing and talking to them like I was just going through the procedure with them asking how things looked in there. There was no inappropriate language, I remember it like it was yesterday, I just never felt any kind of sedation whatsoever. My mom woke up in the middle of her best cancer removal and freaked the hell out, which i can understand. I don't think that's supposed to happen. I do know that when I need anesthetic for procedures or pain, I need a lot more than the normal person because I don't react as sensitive as others to any of it.
I really wish you worked at Bronson in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I have a surgery coming up Friday and your voice alone makes me feel calmer. ❤️. Thank you for these videos. :)
I cried waking up in recovery after having the first several radio frequency nerve ablations on my lower back. My anesthesiologist uses Propofol and Versed. I was not upset, just bewildered and had no idea why I was crying. The nurses were so sweet and told me big men can do the same thing. The next time I has the burns and up until this day, I never cried again. Of course, I’m so calm and chatty before I go under, I guess I am totally used to it now and I trust my surgical team. By the way, I am a redhead! I have been having these burns for over 10 years now!
I've no idea how I am after surgery but I've had a similar procedure as yours but mine were on my neck. Were yours painful afterwards?
@@jodyljohnson8515- I’ve had many radio frequency nerve ablations for the chronic pain in my neck - just had another one done 3 weeks ago. I’ve always had pain for 6 weeks afterwards and sometimes longer until the nerve dies. I hope it gives you some relief.
That's very interesting. 2 Years ago I was in a traffic accident and broke my arm. I was unable to sleep and noticed my eyes just kept leaking tears. I also had no idea why I was crying.
@@TrijnieWandersThat is your body releasing the trauma. Some people shake, some people cry.
I was almost fired from my job for getting in a heated argument with a coworker for her inability to hold her tongue around unconscious patients. Some people are bad. 😑
I love listening to you. I just got back the OR and asked what I talked about during surgery. I was told nothing since I was ventilated. I was calm thru the whole process and was one of the more curious patience about the robot before I was put under.
😂 This was great to watch and very informative.. I talked with the surgeon and assisting doctor during 2 tkr!! 😂 Im a nurse and had been allowed in to watch an actual tkr during my training, 10 yrs earlier performed by the very same surgeon who'd do mine! So I knew what would happen, understood post-op care and what was involved in a successfil recovery.
Im an introvert so at work, I am matter-of-fact, kind and empathic but keep my interests to myself.. being spiritual though and understanding metaphysics, it seemed a good thing prior to the surgeries to visualise the surrounding tissue, bone, and blood vessels, all accepting the titanium and plastic as a part of the whole body system. I was confident all would go well and everything would just flow beautifully. Happy to have the first surgery I looked forward to the whole process including the medazelam (we nurses called it dazzle land) and was very chilled indeed as the anaesthetist started with the nerve block.. That was it, I was out of it .. or at least I thought! 😂 My surgeon was with me when I came around and told me everyone was delighted and enlightened by my long chat with them about physics and mathematical sums!! They asked me questions and got very detailed replies! 😂
I was thrilled bcoz it seemed I was more bright than I thought I was hahaha..
2nd op a mth later, first recovery going better than expected... I was so excited and happy once again with the lovely sensation of going under wondering if id talk again.. 😃 I woke up with the same staff, this time as well as my surgeon, all looking at me giggling and to my embarrassnent he told me I was in a 1970s disco describing how I walked over to the very popular at that time, singer James Blunt and gave him a massive french kiss!! 😂😂😂😅 omg! I asked what else I said and everyone laughed and said all together "so many funny stories!!" 😝🤣 I might be an introvert but Ive always had a vivid imagination haha Yup, under anaesthetic im a chatterbox! ❤❤❤
Incredible insight. Healing and recovery best with coming into surgery with a positive state of mind
Out of ALL the times I've been put under, i had no idea that it was a medical induced coma until i watched this video. Very educational, thank you!
Hello from Wenatchee WA.
I had no concept that "medical PTSD" was even a thing, let alone MY thing. i'm a talker, How can I trust that the doctor will actively ignore what I may blurt out and will try to DO NO HARM?
What’s up man, great live stream, I learned so much! I’m still waiting on a date for my eye surgery, I always make jokes with my anesthesiologist before I fall asleep, that helps me to relax! I always wake up saying funny stuff 😂! I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be an anesthesiologist physician, CRNA’s are great too! It take a special person to be an anesthesiologist or CRNA and you’re one of them!! You rock man! You been hocking loogies? 😂, have you seen the all electric Mercedes G wagon? It’s awesome
I have no idea. 2 surgeries: went straight under and just woke up. Don't have a clue if I said or did anything, at all .
@@mimiescape2023 wow 😎
Also i really love your videos. Keep on the fantastic work on educational videos
You're amazing..continue your informative talks
I thoroughly enjoyed your information.. thank you
Hi from Illinois
I had a jaw surgery recently and I woke up in the middle of it - whew talk about horror! Haha I tried to get up but the surgeon was like “no, no, go back to sleep” 😂
The anesthesiologist said she had to give me anesthesia three different times. I told the surgeon I remember waking up and seeing them and he said “that doesn’t often happen….”
😭😭😭
" I remember waking up and seeing them and he said “that doesn’t often happen….”
Exactly. The surgeon is correct. It very rarely happens. You go to sleep and wake up after the surgery.
This is a stupid video.
It happend to me to...
And i had a lot off pain.😢😢😢
omfg...my worst fear😢
I asked them if I said anything stupid while I was out, they said I didn't.
Live! First time I've seen you live. Hello gang😊
I have learned so much from your videos thank you for what you are doing.
I woke up about the last five minutes of my surgery. I felt them in my vein pulling out the blood clot and putting in the stent. I was told the surgery was to be fifteen minutes and it was over an hour and a half long. No drug or alcohol use. I am a smoker . .not sure if that played a role. I did hear you say depression and I am in menopause. Never experienced depression until menopause. Could that have played a role in why I woke up? The anesthesiologist said, " you don't like drugs", after surgery. I had been put out with this mixture before. Never an issue.
I was watching this a night before my surgery ORIF, I was soo anxious because of the unknown, Gives me confidence though I only have 3 hours of sleep before, when the Mask came, and seen how the anesthesiologist administer profofol, begun drowsy then just when you about to pass, you suddenly awake and looking at my arm, bandaged, numb because of a nerve block, only thing I've asked was How long was I out? the PACU Nurse just told me just 2 hours, its just like You arrived at the OR then Anesthesia given after a second its done.. that was quite an experience... :D
Hey doc, 40 years ago, at a maxillofacial surgeon's office, I had some sort of IV sedation for a new type of wisdom teeth removal where they blasted the impacted molars w/ultrasound to break up (like kidney stone procedure) and then a tiny cut in the gum to reach in w/tweezer tools & pull out the broken bits of each tooth. It never caught on but was amazing!
It was super easy to heal and I had only one tiny spot of cheek swelling. BUT, it was a WEEK before I was able to stay awake for a full day!
I had been taken home totally loopy post-surgery. The 1st day I was awake a total of about 4 hrs. to eat & use the bathroom a few times. Each day after that I could stay awake a couple extra hours. I have no idea what they gave me & always tell docs before anesthesia about it and have had no similar issue since that extraction 40 yrs ago. But do you have any idea what I may have been given? Or maybe it was just an oversose? Ive never used drugs, alcohol or smoked. When I got older it really hit me just how scary it was to be so excessively sleepy for so long. I do have a gene that prevents removal of caffeine from my body at a normal/rapid rate. I wonder if that same gene prevents a certain type of sedation to be filtered out promptly? Thoughts?
I actually have a gene that affects how I process caffeine (mayhe same one?) And I Stay sleepy after surgery for days. I bet you're right about it being related
Hi 😁LOVE YOUR INFORMATIVE SESSIONS
I have had surgery only once. That was for a complete quadriceps rupture repair. I remember the bookends of that surgery. Counting down from 100 (I think I remember getting to 97) and waking up in a nice recliner almost 4 hour later. The only reason I know the time passage was there was a clock on the wall in the room. In my mind I was out for maybe 2 seconds. That was strange. I have no idea if I said anything at all during that whole time. My personal experience was that I was just switched totally off and then switched back on.
You guys must laugh a lot.
I’ve been under anesthesia three times. No idea what happened! I would like to know if I did say anything, though. Yikes! 😳
I had an emergency surgery with a young & handsome dr years ago. He was really kind & nice until after I woke up from surgery. He wouldn’t come near me but sat in the furthest chair in the room. I never understood it until years later. I’m sure I must’ve blurted out something completely inappropriate under anesthesia. I never saw him again. Ugh.
Thank you. So informative
I hope you learned something new and feel empowered to advocate for your health 🙏
I'm a spirit filled Christian AND when I was waking up from anesthesia after a septiplasty surgery, I actually remember speaking in tongues when I was waking up 🤣 The first thing I remember the nurse saying was asking me a question about what language that was 🤣. I've actually been told when I do that I'm speaking Italian and it's usually the Lord's Prayer, even though I don't know the Lord's prayer in Italian, anyway, I wasn't quite with it enough to tell her that. I would much rather be doing that than any quite inappropriate speech 🤣
During dentist laughing gas as a 7 year old this being 95
I saw rolf Harris face on my dentist n I was laughing at him but I was actually terrified n
God who I was close to came close to me n showed me faces of young girls who were abused the way I was abused
I couldn't imagine the kid n animal loving man would do this but I heard Him warn me
Then the fear of the dentist got worse so I squeezed my abusive mothers hand n wouldn't let her leave she sensed something wasn't Right n insisted she was going to stay in thr room and sit through thr procedure but the dentist refused n didn't even want the nurse to stay he argued with my mother that he wanted to be alone with me through the operation
My mother found it very wierd n didn't give up right away n insisted she wasn't leaving me n she doesn't know why the nurse can't even stay in thr room.
Eventually she left me alone with him
When I woke up I complained about Being cold n about school but mostly about being uncovered and cold
N the dentist started acting loudly panicky n strange
It ws very wierd the wya he was behaving like someone who was guilty of something n hiding something
I still wonder today if God was warning me about rokf Harris n the dentist being Paedos
It wasn't until I was in my 20s when rokf Harris was found out to have abused children
I don't know about that dentist
I alos have allergy to anestatisa
So it doesn't leave my body for months n it keeps knocking me out for days or weeks
I had to stay in hospital slot for nutrients n also constantly b sick so they out something in it to stop me being sick
I love this God bless you my sister🙏🏿❤️
Me and ketamine are not friends lol! For awhile I was terrified of anesthesia because after some surgeries I had I would just feel off. For sometimes even a week post op. Sort of anxious and a feeling of just unease. And I thought it was just being under in general. So one time was in there and basically asked to only have a block w versed and fentanyl. The anesthesiologist asked why. So we talked and he looked back and those exact times I had a hard time was when I had ketamine. So he explained the dissociative effects. And then recently for a procedure I brought it up as they asked about any allergies and such and said what happened w ketamine and I explained best I could. They asked me do you have ptsd. (I do) she said that makes so much sense. And that it tends to exacerbate ptsd and it just made me feel so validated almost knowing that I wasn't just crazy in a sense like there was a real reason that a med that they say leaves your system quickly still impacted me for up to a week at times. Medicine is amazing! I love learning all of how the body and brain work with medicine in general!
I remember waking up on the operating table once and telling the doctors I was awake and needed more anesthesia. I don’t remember anything else, just being on the table in the OR and telling that. They weren’t actually doing anything to me at the time, so I never really knew what actually happened there.
I'm old, i smoke weed, i need carpal tunnel and cateract surgeries. When should i stop? How must time should i wait until i schedule surgery? Thank you.🤙🏻
I seem to talk re what I was last watching (PBS, Natgeo, etc). I was adamant a dog be rescued bc it was going to die. They asked me what I was watching and I told them. They told me to go back to sleep which happened pretty quickly. 😂
Hi! Great videos Dr. Kaveh, You are a very inspiring doctor!! I was wondering how often do you do lives as I would like to join them! I have notifications on but was wondering if you have a spefici day you do them

Great, thank you! How do I sign up for private zoom sessions? I am new to this channel but watching your videos I know I have found an amazing channel! I want to be a doctor when I'm older and your channel is very helpful. Thanks Dr. Kaveh! :)@@MedicalSecrets
Thank you for your knowledge and for sharing it with the world 🗺️
Hello Dr. K. I am having surgery on Monday. I’m a bit nervous about the outcome, however I do trust my Dr.
He said, “ I will have an anesthesiologist, to help keep you calm during surgery. :)
I immediately thought of you!
Thank you for being so kind and helpful to us. Especially me. Knowing, you on RUclips, has helped my anxiety more than ever. Thank you so very much Dr. K. 🌟🧡🌟
Have a wonderful weekend🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Kindly, artchem1. PS. I mentioned to my Dr that I am a Chemist; he said “ ok” .. lol. Love your RUclips Channel. Thank you, Dr. K. 🌟🧡🌟
GOD Bless you. I hope it all goes well. 🙏🏻

Aw, how very kind and thoughtful of you. I am quite nervous; as my family ( my mum was a Professor of Nursing) .. have all passed away. So, I’m on my own.
With your pleasant words, I will have you beside me in the OR 🌟🧡🌟💖💐🌺🌹🌼🌷🌸🌻🦋♦️💎
Thank you so very much 🌟🧡🌟Kindly, jan
It really depends on what you think is appropriate...being raised in the US we as kids would always say"sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me" so it doesn't matter what you say while your in a medical coma...it's okay if it is not PC.
I try to stay awake as long as possible to see how I'm set up (no pun intended 😂). It never goes as planned.😅
I had my gall bladder removed in the 90’s. Afterwards my doctor told me that I said some inappropriate things under anesthesia. Maybe it was because I did not feel completely comfortable with my surgeon. I happen to be a redhead too. Now that I’m in my 60’s I’m a candidate for surgery on my deteriorating knees. After watching this video I’m afraid to to ever have surgery again.
I done the same thing,yes I am a
After a total knee replacement I got a prescription for oxycodone. On the way home from the hospital, the pharmacy required I personally had to receive the prescription, so my husband had to come out and get me and I had to walk from the parking lot all the way to the very back of the store to the pharmacy to get the prescription. Yikes! I did it but was not very happy about it.
Having surgery December 26th. Your videos have helped me greatly ❤
I actually do appreciate you doc. I’ve been sedated approximately 20 times in the last decade. I probably gave up to the codes by now….
I woke up to hear drilling and then fell back asleep but when I woke up from the anesthesia I was a chatty Cathy
Just came across your channel so am a new subscriber. Find your topic quite interesting but hearing about this makes me apprehensive about anesthesia going forward. What on earth could I have said after my surgeries??? 😮🤣
I'm happy to see you here! Have you seen my other videos on how to prepare for surgery and anesthesia? The goal is to provide knowledge for patient empowerment 💪
@@MedicalSecrets Have not seen them yet but I will definitely check out your other videos. Very interesting stuff.
I was making jokes on the operationtable, when I was in the recovery I was screaming that I was afraid and I want my surgeon 😅. When he was there I felt back asleep 😅.
Since recognizing that I get caught up in brain fog (first - Effexor; then recently dx'd PHPTH), I will catch myself just saying bold untruths to finish sentences that I lose midstream, or when recalling situational circumstances when leading referral review meetings, before I can focus to read the notes in a referral. I ended up Telling people in my specialty about the symptom so I could explain why my mouth will just lie before I even know what I'm reading out of the anxiety that the repeated fog causes. I'll call out the lie as a Segway to resetting the individual patient referral discussion, too. I do better in one on one meetings where I feel more comfortable taking a pause to recapture the words that I am trying to say. I soooo can't wait for my 11/27 surgery
I really enjoy this thank you so much former medical professional
Well, that explains why the nurses were giggling and told me my sister was telling a lot of funny jokes at her last surgery. I was confused and sleep deprived at the time, so I forgot all about it until now.
On a side note, I dread what things I'll say. It's one of the reasons why I haven't gone to remove my impacted wisdom teeth, one of which is very close to a nerve that could get damaged and make my face numb for months, years, or for the rest of my life, as they said. The numbness is another reason. And the third is because my mom and my sister are incompetent, sensitive people who often trigger each other, assume the wrong things too much, always need my help for things, ask too many questions, and forget not to talk when people ask them to when they have migraines, etc. I love them, but I'm afraid of them taking care of me if I'm in a bad state such as a surgery. Yes, I really do wish at least one of them had a caretaker and group home, but it's such a long, slow, confusing process months after I've mentioned it to the case manager). but also things I may say after the oral surgery (But how do oral surgeons manage to perform dental surgery if their patient keeps talking? I never knew people could talk during surgery!).
The reason for my being nervous about talking from anesthesia is simple: I've seen and been through a lot of hellish stuff ever since I can remember, and because I'm a writer (not published, still writing a series and working on a language for some scenes and a book for certain character's translated grammar). Great combo, right? God, help me there. *Lol*
Speaking of hellish stuff: Why, just today, I passed by a lady in a wheelchair without a coat and socks on in cold weather, and one foot looked super swollen and very purple, and she kept wheeling her wheelchair in circles, backwards, and stopping close to the curb a lot. I was walking with my autistic sister who's already seen too many people exhibiting strange behaviors (drug addict step-father and his friends, unfortunately), so I couldn't stay and help the lady, but I did call 911 twice (the second time with an update on where she was going). I hope she got to a hospital, because I'm certain she needed emergency medical attention. Blood clot and stroke, maybe? Please pray for her, if you do pray. She'll need it.
Okay, I just found out my mom sang Mary Had a Little Lamb when she was 14 and had hand surgery! 😆
@@KnightSkyOfNight You just shat all over your mom and sister lol
@@XAXAXA-ok1 Maybe it's because I'm tired of them sh**ing all over me all the time despite what all I do for them, especially how my sister treats our mom, and how our mom takes it, and what I have to do to mediate the situation and help them understand each other and what went wrong. I'm so tired. I am made for helping people, but I wasn't made for this. I have dreams and hobbies that I often get interrupted and torn from, every time flickering and dying down like candles in gusts of wind. But the gov organizations we're depending on for help are seriously delaying communications with each other. It's been over a month since our last communication with the necessary person to meet with. We've called and left messages asking for updates. The person's supervisor claims they've called and left a messages and haven't heard back three separate times now... from their own worker. We were supposed to have a meeting, but the person was having laptop trouble, then car trouble. It's starting to feel like excuses and systemic client neglect. Work laptops should be provided, and there's something called Uber they could use. If only you knew just what I've been going through. But I don't have an hour, and you don't deserve the depression that would result. You didn't know.
@@XAXAXA-ok1 Also, you just made an account three days ago to laugh and make fun of people without caring because deep down you either don't care about yourself or people have treated you that way. Trolls' words and behavior reflect their own lives, but it doesn't have to be their whole lives. Things will get better for you. I know you don't believe it, but if you do nothing for yourself and just waste so much time in your life tearing people down, it really feels like you're getting nowhere. Take better care of yourself. Talk to someone you trust. Focus on the next step, not all of them. Plan all of the steps, but focus on one. You'll get there. Don't be what happened to my brother.
u need a nap
I recently had an upper GI. Everyone was very kind from the time I was in the hospital till I left. Everyone introduced themselves and just were very relaxed. I don't think it lasted very long. Last thing I remember was the doctor and anesthesiologist talking with me a bit more. I wasn't nervous. I let them know that I am a slow wake up. I'm wondering if I said something now because they were even kinder afterwards. Even my doctor. He is normally professional and nice though we don't agree on certain procedures. At my follow up he said though he preferred I do the procedure he wanted he respected my choice. He was nice about it.
I have a couple questions that I thought that, you being an anesthetist, MD, would be able to answer about drug allergies or sensitivities. I can't take Versed or Codeine due to them causing arrhythmias. The Versed problem was discovered when I had to have my neck repaired after a car accident in 1999. The Codeine problem was discovered years ago. Recently, (May 2023), I had to have surgery to repair my thumb after a dog bite. During surgery I was given Sevoflurane and Isoflurane. Both of those caused arrhythmias as well as evidenced by the rhythm strips that they took at the time. After the surgery, for the next two months, I had continued problems with feeling these PVC's (as I was told they were). They weren't one here and there but sometimes many in succession which became very scary. Eventually I was put on potassium to halt these and whether it was placebo affect or actually worked, it did stop these. My question was should I be concerned to add these two drugs to the list of problem medications like the Versed and Codeine that cause this problem because both cause arrhythmias? Don't know why but we found out that they do. 🤔🤔🤔
At least mention this if you need another anesthetic. The more we tell our dr the better they can help
I asked if I can have my gallbladder after it was taken out. They told me no, it’s going to pathology. I asked about equipment, they let me see it. I had full confidence in my medical team. I fell asleep happy under anesthesia… who knows maybe I asked if I can watch. But I’m neurodivergent I was imagining the surgery as I was going under.
Evidentally I am a terrific comedian. Having "gone under" many times on a variety of minor/major surgery, I have regained conciousness a few times while still on the table. Saying to everyone, "what's so funny" upon hearing drs and nurses laughing loudly. They've answered: You. They never repeat what I've said but often comment that they cant remember if they ever laughed that hard before in the operating room.
I can’t even imagine the things you’ve heard over the years!! I’ve had tons of surgeries over the years and have no idea how I’ve reacted!! I’m not a drinker or drug user but nothing’s predictable!! My Bishop is also a local doctor of anathesiology. I would be terrified if he was part of my surgical team!!
I've worked in surgery about 40 years. I've never heard anyone say anything inappropriate.
I remember that when I was 20 years old, my 18 year old brother was being pursued by the surgeon's daughter, and as the anesthesia took effect I was asked about my brother's attitude toward the surgeon's daughter.
Thank you 😊
I was very relaxed with my two back surgeries. I was given something to calm my nerves a little and honestly I don’t remember anything until I woke up in recovery still sleepy. They were each long surgeries. I love doctors and nurses of all kinds
I woke up combative during cataract surgery.
They had to stop the surgery and the doc yelled at me after for having ptsd.
ETA: I'll never have surgery again

I didn't really talk under anesthesia, mainly because after getting in shape and taking care of my body I later had a traumatic memory rush in for months on end. The last thing I wanted to do was to open my mouth and tell everyone what happened when I was a kid.
