My anxiety wouldn’t cope with being awake while having it done 😫😫😫

im about to go to my housekeeping in a hospital interview next week. this was helpful..

No doubt do that

Just so I know why would you still need to fast if you're going to be awake during the surgery?

Hi

A nerve bock...never again... I had a electrick shock....awfull and alot off pain

No way on God's earth would I have any procedure under a local or regional anaesthetic. I had a cyst removed once from my arm under a local. Never ever again. I would want to be put out completely. I don't want to know anything. However my wife had a partial knee replacement carried out under a spinal anaesthetic. She says the whole thing great just a slight discomfort when the local anaesthetic was administered in her back to numb her skin. Me I would like my skin numbed ready for my covid jab.

Absolutely NOT!! This is coming from a physician.

What? She went after 4 hours and holding the envelope in anaesthetised hand?🤔

This is an EXTREMELY misleading video. What is SHOWN is perfectly accurate. The problem is what is NOT shown. When the block wears off after 12 hours you will experience the worst pain you've ever experienced in your life. Ask ANYONE who has done this surgery. You will want to take oxycodone before the block wears off and continue to take it through the worst of the pain, which peaks for about four hours or so. This video gives the impression that the surgery is a piece of cake. It is NOT. Fortunately, I'd spoken to a friend who'd had it and I was prepared. If you're unprepared, you might be inclined to head for the emergency room after the pain sets in, thinking that something is wrong. It isn't. It's just excruciating. Just take pills and ride it out. Is the surgery worth it? OF COURSE it is. It it works, you'll have your shoulder back. I did both shoulders, and I have normal shoulder function. The other thing the video fails to tell you is that for at least four months, you should treat your shoulder joint as if it's held together by tissue paper. Don't make sudden movements. Don't reach for anything high up. Quite a number of people don't take this seriously and the work of the surgery is undone. The hospital that posted this video is doing patients a great disservice by painting such a rosy picture of this surgery. Should you do it? Yes, definitely, but you should go into it knowing how painful it will be and how much care must be taken with the shoulder for four months following surgery. I've had hips replaced and a spinal fusion. These are absolutely nothing compared to rotator cuff. There is no reason to have general anesthesia for this surgery. It is much safer to just have the block. You won't feel anything for 12 hours.

Wesshoppo

My brother in law had a local anaesthetic for the amputation of his leg from under the knee, or maybe it was an epidural. Anyway he was awake during it. He wanted the amputation as he was in so much pain as a result of damage caused by type 1 diabetes. If it was me for keyhole surgery I'm not sure I would want to watch it but on the other hand could I keep my eyes away? I think I would give in to the temptation to watch once I got my head around the fact that it was me on the screen, but no pain.

I'm having my surgery in 5 hours and I better be knocked out. I have a SLAP lesion, a full thickness tear of my rotator cuff, a partial detachment of my biceps and some other high grade tear that I can't remember the name of. The only thing that's not torn is my Teres. I'm getting the block and a pain pump. My surgeon said my shoulder was "a mess".

I begged my ortho to let me stay away during my ACL repair 17 years ago, to which he agreed - I wanted to watch it on the screen....so I was duly set up with an epidural and as soon doc started inserting the laparoscope, I had convulsions. So the mask went over my face and the next thing I remember was being wheeled into recovery...... Guess I wasn’t as badass as I thought!

👏 Congratulations RJAH!!! Very impressive x

Why???

You have be a weirdo to stay awake during surgery

Well done 😊

🎉🎂🎈

Thank you to all the wonderful staff that took good care of me while in this wonderful hospital Margaret Foster

This made me feel a lot more comfortable about my surgery tomorrow morning. Thank you

Great audit and presentation Sarfraz. #toohandsome

Not for me... I had it full GA

Mr Steven White is a Super Orthaepedic Surgeon who operated on my Tib Fibula knee joint in 1998, his work of the Procedure is now in the Medical Knee Journal. 😁 Love to say hello again and tell him I accidentally busted my Tib Fib again 🤨

I would opt for local nothing else.

Hell naw

The acoustics are rubbish in that office. I guess as a chief exec you were reluctant to leave your office for fear of being "bothered" by the "little people".

A week ago today I hade my shoulder operation, I woke up at 6:30am to check in at 7:30am at the hospital and I hade the operation first on the list at 9:30am, before they did it they ask if I would like to be asleep or awake and I just jumped at the option to be put out asleep! How can you say no to sleep 😍

wow i would want to stay asleep the whole time!
