General Surgery Interviews
I did not tell my anesthesiologist i smoke pot …?
Well, actually, was a nurse. I have surgery May 27 and I will be anesthetized general. I had a telephone conversation with a nurse and asked me if I like recreational drugs, I said no. With the last time he smoked grass, is about four days before anesthesia. A problem? I am a regular smoker, smoke about 2-3 grams of Kush weeks i. If I tell them just before my surgery?
Yes I tell them. Lying to the people who will keep you alive, not really a very clever idea. Is likely to react differently to some drugs used anesthesia. You is at increased risk of respiratory complications. For the love of God, do not appear stoned. Allow your cancellation. We anesthetized all drug addicts time. It is very useful to know beforehand. We do not judge, we just want to do what is best for you. And do not kill.
