Anesthesia induces a temporary loss of sensation or consciousness in patients... but it can also reveal where our personality traits lie according to the 5 factor model. The 5 factor model is a widely accepted framework for understanding personality traits. It consists of five broad dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
In this video, we will explore how anesthesia can reveal where patientsâ personalities lie on the 5 factor model. We will discuss the different personality traits that are associated with anesthesia and how they can be used to better understand patientsâ personalities. This can also have life long benefits if we use this precious window to view ourselves from a lens we haven't had access to before.

Itâs not your âpersonalityâ, itâs your reaction to vulnerability
I don't think this is fair at all. To claim that our "true" personality is what comes out when we're drugged and, often, terrified? We all know the body keeps the score, and our body doesn't know the difference between a needed surgery and a dangerous trauma. To say our real or more authentic selves is who we are during a traumatic and, once again, drugged, is our more authentic self. I have severe medical PTSD. This feels so victim-blamey to me.
Apart from medical care you should do TRE but very slowly. Best Boris
After 17 surgeries in my life I can say I dont feel like a victim.... This is just someones point if view, theres no victims in this my friend
Has nothing to do with fairness. He is describing experiences that he has had with real live people! The patient might be terrified initially, but then as the anesthesia starts taking effect, they will calm down as they get sleepy. Heâs talking about what heâs actually witnessed. He doesnât mean that heâs correct but we donât have eyes on that situation ourselves or most of us, so I find this very interesting. You might not like what heâs saying because it might reveal something to you about yourself that you donât like, but he is expressing what he thinks based on his experiences. If you donât like what he saying then you donât have to listen or watch
I have a lot to say on this subject. My brother is a doctor. Heâs anesthesiologist, j has pain management clinics. Iâve talked to him about some of these things and Iâve had my own experiences when I did healthcare marketing for several & Johnson companies, including Johnson & Johnson patient care where I worked for a few years in marketing. I witnessed several surgeries while monitoring photographers. We were taking photos of product in use. was very surprised about how the surgical staff behaved. This was probably 1987 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. I witnessed a breast biopsy and a hysterectomy. But Iâm about to say it has nothing to do with what youâre saying but it shows another aspect of surgery that I donât like and hopefully it doesnât go on anymore again this was 1987 the surgeon, after he took out the uterus, started spinning it around by one end and making a joke about it. It might be true, and Iâm sure you have an opinion on this, that patients under anesthesia might remember music that was played or things that people said so I think itâs very important not only for the patient to behave if possible, but for the staff to be respectful at all times as if the patient was fully awake and watching and right there with them
But Iâm not complaining about your work. Just adding another aspect of it and Iâd like to hear what you have to say about that and how itâs changed since 1987 because I was really shocked by that experience and I think most people would be.
Iâve been working with the Enneagram personality types and then I came across you so this is really interesting. The Enneagram is really complex and every person who teaches the anagram has a different definition of personality types. I like yours, although I have questions about some of them that I might ask you later
One thing Iâm interested in because this happened to me⊠I broke my nose when I was 10 and when I was 16 they took off the bump and straightened everything out. Iâm metabolize drugs very quickly, which I found out later, so the anesthesia wore off and the Novocain And liquid cocaine that was initially put up my nose wore off and I could feel the surgeon stitching my nose, but I could not speak because I was breathing oxygen an oxygen mask and I couldnât move. What do you think about that? And what are your experiences with people waking up or doing unusual things during surgery, Iâm also interested in what you think about doctors in general and what their personality types tend to be. What is your personality type? I love what youâre doing keep going come to Florida for a visit. Iâve also done about seven ketamine treatments and Iâll ask you more questions about that later.
Defensive much? Lol Somebody must have a complex
As a clinical and trauma psychologist, I can tell you that many surgeons and anesthesiologists are malignant narcissists. This behavior pathology is characterized by Machiavellian traits, primarily sadism, (ASPD) Antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy/sociopathy) and Narcissistic personality styles for example a diagnosis of (NPD) 15:53 Narcissistic personality disorder. Note: The aforementioned disorders must be diagnosed by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist.
This! Itâs one of the fields with the most disordered people.
I'm fascinated with what the patient does & say while coming out of anaesthesia. I have 4 nephews who had tonsils removed before age 5, and they were a marvel. One woke up very fragile & deeply upset, his younger brother was swearing like a sailor and slapping the nurses who touched him (his mom was mortified, I was in stitches.) One was quiet and almost angelic, another couldn't stop giggling. They ALL wanted their mommies...so feeling safe & nurtured was priority no 1. I read somewhere that almost all the men waking up in war hospitals call their mothers, so it's a very primal thing.
That's really interesting. Makes you wonder.
The one surgery I was put under for, the moment I could vocalize at all, I started calling my husband's name. I was so quiet the nurse stopped what she was doing and asked me who is R----? I told her he was my husband. When I asked when I could see him she said I was in recovery, but I could see him once I was in my room. So, Ias far as I remember from that point was I had relaxed and then I have a vague momentary memory of being in the hallway on the way to the room. Then I remember being in a sitting position in the bed with my family in the room with me and it seemed like I had been interacting with them, but there's a blank spot like when I would have blackouts when I was a kid.
Yes you are correct and not just in war hospitals. Even the meanest Criminal cries for his mum when he is badly injured. I have seen and heard this myself. Women donât do this. Most women resist being touched and will slap back in panic or hallucinate and hit the nurses or simply are slow to wake up because they donât want to come back. Who can blame them?
I start flirting, I tell the staff how much I love them. I talk nonstop and make jokes. Tell the men how cute they are. I tell the woman how pretty they are. Many compliments. I will tell them Iâm so grateful for them. Thanking them over and over again
Me too
Attention seeking
Me toooo! â€ïž I'm just a big ol teddy, anesthesia just takes that up 20 notches
â@@AV5oh who and how do?
â@@AV5ohYou are Jealous. Get over it.
If medical workers only realized how a tap on the patientsâ shoulder or arm can make a HUGE difference in the fear, anxiety and pain one is experiencing right before and/or after surgery! Its so important, maybe more-so than medicine. Thank you!
I don't want strangers pawing me. I told the nurse not to touch me. LOL
I was terrified in the operating room before my hysterectomy. A nurse came over and touched my shoulder and told me to be calm as I went under. I was very thankful for her compassion.
There s no anti anxiety to help me
I had an abdominal surgery...I swear on my life I was asleep or groogy but felt tge knife start to cut me on the left side of abdomen đą...happened a decade ago, but that s so fresh in my mind that really amplifies my anxiety and worry of being in too much pain before, during or even after surgery.
I was almost knovked out but awake to an extent to notice that the nurse liftet my blanket in order to visually check my private area (btw the surgery was on myleft foot)....
@@tabuleirocmdwtf?
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.poras. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is dr.poras
If I'm crying or difficult before or after it's because the staff have not listened to me or not believed my pain was real or unusual for the situation. I'm treated like I'm irrational when I'm telling them something is truly wrong.
this
Right before I was having an emergency surgery, the surgeon had screamed at me over nothing- and talked to me like I was a dog. He was most likely a racist, sexist, and probably a psychopath. (Iâve worked with a lot of those types, so I recognized his pathological narcissism.) His cruelty made me very afraid, so right before surgery, I asked the anesthesiologist to âplease not let him kill me.â He laughed until I told him what the doctor had done. After surgery I was so grateful to wake up. I thanked everyone. Normally I wouldnât have been afraid.
I've had similar experiences with narc doctors ugh
Maybe due to the emergency situation, he didn't have time for niceties ?
â@@ceebee491its a convenience for psychos. It explains why many sadists enjoy and thrive in wars.
Harrowing. Hope you reported him.
@@ceebee491 No excuse! S/he is supposed to be a professional.
I get very bubbly and happy. I start talking non stop. I also talk about financial things!
Hereâs some food for thought. You telling your funny little secrets about how anesthesia unlocks all kinds of personal things about a person is enough to make me never want to have any surgery ever again whether elective or required. I used to have such faith in anesthesiologists until you all started sqwaking about what you see in a patient during a very vulnerable time. Maybe thatâs just me? Have a great day.
Nasty people IMO
Completely agree! The thought of healthcare workers laughing at me, making fun of me, or knowing things about me that I would not want to share scares me to the point that it adds fear of surgery even over dying!!!!
Me either. I've had a few major surgeries, and I'm done with anything involving anesthesia.
I was done before this video. I never have felt right since. You can't avoid death it's going to get me anyway.
Um...you do realize he did not give out anyone's personal info. He was speaking in general terms. So yeah you can chill out you weirdo. You're clearly the rigid type :p
How do you think science and medicine became a thing to exist then genius? Oh thatâs rightâŠ.testing and observing. Trial and error. Some accidentally inquired knowledge
I had emergency C-section due to a detached placenta at 29 wks. Massive hemorrhage & recall going under thinking the anesthesiologist was the last person I would see in this life. They tried bringing my son in so I could see him as they were taking him to another hospital with a neo-natal critical care unit. I recall waking up & everything was pitch black other than a tiny light a few feet away. I sat straight up & screamed no as I thought I was on my way to hell. I then was given something & woke up day of his funeral. He survived 16 hrs. PTSD for years.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Sending hugs to you and your darling little baby
I'm so sorry that happened to you! That is so devastatingly sad!
@mskat1954
I am sorry for your loss.
may God bless you and grace you
I had something pretty similar, the massage haemorrhage couldnât take another breath, when woken in recovery, apparently successful but had to speak I still couldnât breathe yet I had beenâŠthe anaesthesiologist slapped me in the face & I thanked him⊠was told still out of body, sounds similar, devastating experience , ptsd follows
That's one of the most tragic stories I have ever heard. RIP to your beautiful angel baby. I'm so glad you are here to share that with other parents.
I am almost 73. After I listened to your CZcams about what happens when coming out of OR and anesthesia, I thought âThatâs why!â When I had my hysterectomy in my early 30âs, back in my room, I put my arms around my OB and told him that I loved him! I was so embarrassed later!!
Another surgery many many years ago, I was coming out of the OR and rolling to PACU. I was crying and telling my husband over and over that I loved him. At least it was my husband this time! LOL. My husband said I almost made HIM cry!
I enjoy your videos and the education you provide. Thank you!
đ
Awww! â€
I told the nurse that the anesthesia was a dope experience and I asked if we can sell it together on the black market...
The one time I had surgery, the nurse told me I had been flirting with the anesthesiologist. I think they must have been amused for her to tell me that since Iâm sure strange confessions and such happen all the time.

As a chronic pain patient, I just had my fourth back surgery. The pain afterwards because they had to cut out my ribs and make a cage and straighten my spine. The pain was so bad I was begging for more pain medicine since Iâve been on it so long and I ended up having a mild stroke and I am recovering now. Iâm 54 years old and Iâve had a total of 23 surgeries in my lifetime. I always appreciate your positive comments and suggestions and videos as I am a very positive person and I always relay that in the operating room. They ask how Iâm doing, I say Iâm fine I just Iâm ready for the milk of amnesia and they all laugh, and then I wake up afterwards. Thank you again for the comfort that you give people, especially those facing their first surgery.
When my husband was in the prep room before his triple bypass, he was talking up a storm and cracking jokes. And his post op recovery was outstanding! He immediately was ready to get healed. He was walking after two days and left the hospital on day five!! Thank God for his high spirits, because I was frightened to no end! đ
I guess he had his own fears, Mrs. And ultimately decided that he would either be okay, or heâd know the biggest secret in the Universe⊠he freed himself of Fear.
Every time I come out, I ask the nurses if they are angels. They are. â€
You described me perfectly!!!! I've had numerous surgeries, and I fall asleep thanking everyone and telling them how much I appreciate them, and I wake up asking everyone if they're hungry and if they'd like me to cook them something to eat!!! My husband tells me that I wake up trying to mother everyone, including people who are older than me!!! And I also call everyone Sweetheart!!! He always tells me that my doctors and nurses tell him that they want to take me home with them!!! Lol!
My Latest surgery...I was asking for my wife. She is my rock!!!!
I've woken up once in a procedure, and started joining the conversation the nurses were having about how cold the operating room was. I definitely agreed with them. They heard me, and asked what I said, so I spoke up about how they were right, the room is freezing. I could register the shock in the nurse's voice when she said, "Doctor, she's awake...!" So the doctor calmly told me to stay very still because he wasn't done yet and described a tugging sensation I should expect as he was continuing. I asked for some warm blankets because I was about to start shivering violently because of how cold the room was, and I didn't want to mess him up as he was working.
I think I'm in the mostly agreeable and slightly open range. That was also the easiest wake up I'd ever had in the recovery room, after. Was laughing and joking until they reminded me why I was there by giving me a grief support contact card. I was there for a D&E post miscarriage. Don't know what the cocktail was, but it made me forget the grief until I was reminded in the recovery room, even though I knew intellectually what was going on when I woke up during the procedure. No opioid use! It was weird. I bring that up for all surgeries, now, so I don't have an early wake up anymore.
Oh my geez!!!! Also I'm so very sorry for your loss I cannot imagine.. when u have brought it up, so to not have an early wake up- have they ever told u what they thought?/ while reading your comment about that pt I thought, lord bless her how many surgeries is she having to need to tellthem this?!
@ThatChick90X2 Thank you! oddly, no, they just say that they will make sure that doesn't happen THIS time. I've heard that often enough, I think it's a standard response. How many surgeries? Way too many. Have to think about it... I've been under at least 13 times, and 6 of those were since the D&E. I joke that all my vacations since 2018 are at the "such and such hospital resort," where at least you get breakfast in bed. All kidding aside, way too many surgeries. Lots of variety, too, from thyroid surgeries to toe surgery. I started a different way of eating this spring to see if that helps improve anything at all.
@amysepan804 đ the such and such hospital vaca stay lol! I feel that! God bless you, maybe your surgery days have passed đ
@ThatChick90X2 I hope so. I already have one doctor recommending one more for an ongoing issue, but I'm hoping to avoid it. Good bless you, too!đ
@amysepan804 lawddd chick- if you were in alabama I'd bring you a warm meal đ
I had heart surgery yesterday to get a pacemaker implanted. I have a great surgeon who did a cryo ablation on me a couple years ago. I do whatever he says I trust him implicitly. He is kind and compassionate as well as really good. I am very lucky.
I had surgery when I was a teenager and while waking up, I was so worried because my father was very upset about me. I asked him to read to me-even though it was a book about city planning, not my interest-but I knew if he read to me he would feel better.
Did you feel better with that book?
I was in the hospital for a month in first grade and my dad came in and read me the merchant of Venice and all sorts of grownup but wonderful stuff thatâs crazy funny to read for a kid so little especially with his effective dramatics! It is among my favorite memories â€
@@MedicalSecrets what would cause a fast heart rate 120-130 for 2 days and nights after surgery (3 surgeries on ear 5 hours, 3 hours, a year apart) I have taken Atenolol 25 mg for 20 years. Also take 5 mg of Valium 1-3 day for 5 years for anxiety and insomnia.
I don't know that he clearly stated, but the OCEAN acronym comes from the field of psychology, and the "big 5" are the aspects of defining human personality. We use them in psychology related to understanding people's personality characteristics and disorders.
You can't really think that most of those people who are asking if you got enough sleep and if you've had something to eat or really worried about your health. And your well being. They're worried about whether or not you're awake and where and well hydrated, so that you can take care of them adequately.
Yes! I had an emergency c-section at 4am and I asked my doctor if he got enough sleep. If I have to sign my life away, I want to know I'm in good hands.
I am extremely agreeable though too.
I absolutely agree that we need more human care in this extremely "broken medical system". You doctor are clearly a person who shows care and compassion to your patients. I would also like to add that you mentioned, throughout the video, that being high on any of these 5 core personality traits is not necessarily bad or good. However, we all know which traits are desirable, and which are not. For example, no one wants to be with a person who is unstable, unregulated or manipulative. You're saying this because don't want to offend anybody, but we all know the truth.đ
How could you assess instability, unregulated or manipulative behaviour in that short period? Further many people are like this due to trauma. Because we don't know their back-story it's far better to try to be nonjudgemental but alert, because you simply don't know.
My sister is very manipulative but she has addiction issues, she is also unstable and unregulated. But paradoxically she thrives in a hospital environment because she is getting attention but there are boundaries around how she can behave so she falls into line.
I believe she actually enjoys going to hospital it's very sad to have that need, she is in a very bad way and almost didn't make it a few weeks ago.
Everyone wants the best for her but she disappoints so often. The reality is that much of her behaviour is maladaptive. She believes she has to act this way in order to survive so these are compulsive behaviours, not necessarily an expression of conscious choice.
Rather than expressing dislike or disapproval it's far better to try to approach these people with cautious optimism and keep our boundaries safe. You don't know how much is trauma-based and how much is the personality. Judging them is just counter productive and I honestly think that is what the doctor is doing, it's just good practice. I spoke with one anaesthetist who was keen for me to protect myself from her. I let her know my sister was up against it in her life and was dyslexic but highly intelligent. This meant she didn't have the survival skills that I have. I'm sad about it but I can't do much about it.
Yes they can be exhausting to deal with but also you don't know what they've been through. People in the caring professions need to put the patient higher than this, and get the job done. But I think that anaesthetist had insight and told me my sister is a repeat player there and that I must protect myself. It was so kind of her. Naturally I care for her but she is very manipulative and aggressive at times and also delusional. Of course I am thinking about her being stuck in hospital over this festive season, but I can't solve it for her. She gets a strange comfort from being in hospital possibly because she doesn't care enough about herself and this care that she is getting is a form of love. This is life.
For Sure!! I donât get to see Dr. Gupta, MD on CNN & MSNBC. In the Bible Belt Mr. T. Doesnât want us watching that news or Bill Maher, or John Oliver and others that are not on his side.
So all I needed to say is I donât get to see the first Dr. Gupta that has been with those channels for a long time. So I am glad the iPhone found you. There popped up a different anesthesiologist but heâs not the sharpest tool in the anesthesia cart and so I didnât like his style.
Thank you Dr. Anthony for taking time to do these videos.
When I was 29 (back in 1999), I had surgery to repair my broken ankle. In the recovery room, I woke up being aware of my environment, just a little drowsy. All of a sudden, I started âconvulsing," back arching upward, stiffening of body, & doing so for several seconds over several times. It felt like I was being electrocuted, & I sounded that way. I was conscious. I could hear the nurses joking with the anesthesiologist, âWhat did you give her?â "I didn't do anything to her.â He was looking up stuff in his book, trying to figure out what could be wrong. He said he didn't know what was wrong with me. I asked if it was convulsions & he said no, because I conscious. Joking aside, I do believe they were concerned, or I sure hope so. They must have given me meds to sedate me. I was shaking pretty bad too, even while sedated/sleeping. I couldnt even feed myself because of the intense trembling. I was supposed to go home the day after surgery, but all the shaking caused them to keep me for a week, sedated. I don't think anyone ever knew what was going on. (I don't think it was investigated really, just the symptoms treated.) I think my medical records indicated Cogentin was used in surgery, but someone said no, that it was given to me for shaking afterward. Would an anesthesiologist ever use Congentin in surgery? What do you think might have been going on? I am new here. Thank you.
It sounds like the drugs administered to you affected neuronal circuitries. But who knows? I just know that for me personally, I would not be ok with having any future surgeries that involved general anesthesia.
I had surgery two weeks ago. When I was being wheeled into recovery I could hear the staff calling my name. I awoke in a hazy daze with my arms outstretched exclaiming "I love you all!" Everything stopped for a second as they looked at each other and laughed, then I was chastised and told to put my arms down.
I don't put my hands up, but I'm very happy with the folks who do the work and look after my health. :)
Iâm sorry they chastised you.
@@giorgismama8024 They were worried I would pull the IV out.
Why anyone would feel itâs okay to chastise you coming out of surgery is beyond me. Iâm sorry you had to experience that.
How sweet you said that because you felt it. Completely void of anesthesia, most of us would say that!!!
When I came out of surgery i desperately needed to find my so
Why doesnât the anesthesiologist tell you how you reacted
do you really want to know? LOL
I have remembered mine.
Yes! I've always wondered if I swear!
I gave sedation for endoscopy, they usually canât remember even if we say something.
Because time is money.
Would like to see you cover what happens to a "Personality" when put under duress, emergence delirium and don't feel safe in these types of situations. The 'hospital, staff, and so on'. The whole experience was beyond finding words to explain.
5 months ago, emergency surgery to save my life.The last thing I remember, I was at home. The next thing I knew ... woke up in excruciating pain. I woke in surgery. 2 times.
Then waking up in the ICU. It didn't look like any hospital room I've ever been in before.
I was so disoriented, confused, freaked out, scared, and alone. I asked to see my surroundings to ground myself.
They refused to allow me to see anything. Instead, they laughed at me.
A huge plate on my heart with so many wires and an IV arm port implanted, with so many IVs attached. A huge plastic tubing coming out of my nose, it went to my chest area then was bent to go another 12 inches or so. No one would tell me what was happening to me. No one would tell me everything I was attached to. What was it for and why?
I literally have PTSD from the experience.
I had a friend come and take me to another hospital.
It is normal for me to wake up while taking me out of surgery. It is always extremely painful. I have an extreme, high pain tolerance level. Morphine only hurts, it doesn't help me with pain. After surgeries I normally only take Tylenol, if needed. I always want to know what happened and see everything but they never allow me, so ... just knock me out while I'm waiting for surgery, please.
I am so sorry for your traumatic experience! That's horrifying đąđđ I have two friends who went through similar Hell from surgery and were refused pain medication. I don't understand why they're doing this to people.
@@vhayashi7369 Thank you for your response. It's nice to see that someone cares. I am sorry for your friends that had to go through similar situation I endured. I would Never want anyone to go through what I did.
Unfortunately, it's about money and not the patient. Doctors and hospitals don't listen to understand anymore. They listen to respond.
A lot of doctors who really are the best of what they do are now breaking off and opening Practices that are "CASH" only. Insurance companies don't pay them what they deserve to be paid.
The patient (the consumer) is the one who suffers. And it will continue until the Patient (the consumer) stands up to your local Congressmen to get laws changed. That is what I've been trying to achieve.
â@vhayashi7369 the UN and Congress is why. The feds are arresting and imprisoning doctors for providing adequate pain relief. It's terrible for patients and physicians. But it's great for the cartels, and investments though. The elites know they can drive some people in unresolved excruciating pain to go buy fentanyl in the street which drives their investments (private prison, rehabs, big pharma, even the military industrial complex... the war in Afghanistan was partially over poppy/heroin supply) they know some people will choose self-elimination if they hurt enough, some will pass naturally due to the effects of pain on their bodies. The UN decided decades ago that 80% of us must be off this hunk of spinning rock by 2030, and this is just a very tiny slice of the plan...but it's significant. It's not the doctors... it's the rules and threats to the doctors that are making this happen. Go look at the stock portfolio of say...Nancy Pelosi... and it will start making a lot more sense. Covid was part of this plan too. The next one coming is called disease X...start researching that. All of this info is out there... just start connecting the links and wow...it's incredibly disturbing and mind blowing..
@@vhayashi7369 Thank you for your kind words. It's more than I received from anyone from 3 hospitals from this ... thing.
I really appreciate your videos. I am comfortable in hospitals supporting others but afraid of anesthesia for me! I have major PTSD regarding anything that feels like I can't breathe! I'm ok until waking up and feeling like I can't get my lungs to work, causing panic.
Think I am a combination of 1 and 2. I get very nervous beforehand and apologise for shaking, I always have questions to ask (usually before I get to pre-op) then accept the answers given. I woke up after my last surgery so calm it was unreal. Listening to your videos has helped me prepare for the next one, although I am still awfully nervous. But thank you for arming me with information.
So interesting. I love going under, it's so relaxing! I can never relax that much. I can't imagine anyone wanting to watch. I start to cry out of stress going under, but always wake up happy. I've said, "I'm still alive!"
Iâm glad to see you say that! Iâve had many surgeries the past few years and I, too, have come to really enjoy the feeling right before you go under. I was a little nervous that it was weird đ. Iâve always wondered if itâs because Iâm not feeling any pain or itâs just the drugs. So interesting! đ
I have watched onceđ it was pretty amazing stuff accolades to this doctor in any other doctor who don't just ignore the intricacies and amazingness of the human mind.
I was given Twilight on an outpatient surgery, and it was the best sleep I've ever had. I'm awake so many times during the night so I wouldn't mind having that over the counter!
Thatâs what Michael Jackson said!
My nurse in recovery told me he wish he had a 100 of me because I was happy when I woke up and was polite and kind and very calm!
Apparently, I'm quite the comedian when I'm seriously injured. I was dying in the ER after a major car accident, and while I can't really remember it, my wife told me I had the staff rolling and I should be a stand-up comedian. The surgeon that operated on me a few times also now asks me what music to put on- I don't know if I complain or if he just likes my taste.
Yes my jokes are a little inappropriate but everyone seems to get a kick out of them
My neighbor had a knee replacement and came home fine. A few days later he collapsed. It turned out he need a margarita = sugar and salt. His electrolytes were off as a result from surgery, diet, and anesthesia meds.
My only surgery was for colon cancer at the VA hospital. It was an 8 1/2 hour surgery where I ended up with a permanent colostomy and woke up to the most severe pain I have ever endured. The student surgeon had ripped my incision and extra 2 inches past the original incision and also stapled through, not around my 12" incision while closing things up. Needless to say it was the most pain I have ever been through. The only thing I remember was the ceiling of the operating room as they wheeled me in and begging somebody to shoot me as I came to after. I've had some injuries before, nearly cut off my thumb on a table saw. No surgery, just some closing of the wound and weeks of pain as it healed. The APR experience was 1000 times worse than my thumb experience. The surgery was free, the pain.... not so much.
I am so sorry you went through that! I hope your mind and your body have healed from all that trauma.
Extreme pain can make you a bit grumpy. I had a fall recently and dislocated my shoulder. The pain was excruciating. Being asked questions like whatâs your sonâs phone number made me a little frustrated. I just wanted the pain to stop so I was a little short with the nurse. I did apologise later. The ER doctor was wonderful. First I was administered Fentanyl but it didnât help. Nitrous oxide helped but it still wasnât quite enough, so she gave me another medication but I donât what that was. It worked. The pain went away and the doctor was able to get the head of my humorous bone back into the socket. The nurse told me later how amazed she was that straight after the pain stopped, I was able to relax and chat to the staff and joke around. Iâm 81 years old and grateful I didnât break any bones. I was kept in overnight and discharged the next day. I am glad I had the opportunity to tell that wonderful doctor how grateful I was for her care.
Iâm glad medical professionals are finally starting to realize this and incorporate them into their pain relief protocols.
I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative. I am a Retired Certified Psychiatric RN and loved my work. I never spoke about my beliefs but used the precepts in caring for my patients. Much of what I believe coincides with Psychiatric and all patient care.
quoting dr grande: "I remember the 5 factor model with the acronym OCEAN-openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism"
I know youâre going by the OCEAN five major personality traits in the Five-Factor Model, also known as the Big Five personality traits, but I wonder why numbers one through four are positive and number five starts out as negative. I sort of challenge the âOCEAN viewâ (LOL) to replace Neuroticism with Nurturing and switch the description and opposite around as such:
Nurturing: Emotional stability, calmness, resilience.
Opposite: Neuroticism, Anxiety, moodiness, worry, sensitivity to stress. đ
Its so lovely to come across such a Compassionate person.
I had an unknown and undiagnosed tick bourne illness that is known to lower the blood pressure severely. (Babesiosis), and if not for my surgeon having seen it before, i could have died. Post op was awful and I cost my insurance company twice as many days stay, but she saved my life and the sutgery was a major success. Memorial Sloan Kettering surgeons rock! â€
You would be a phenomenal professor
I enjoy and appreciate listening to your talks, having had surgery with general anaesthesia this past year. Lol. "Deprivation curiosity" that term sure struck me how you explained it. Iâm on the operating table, strapped in, sedative flowing into my veins, eyes closed. I realize I'm not yet in "la-la land" so I say to the surgeon, "I got one more question about the surgery, ok?". Think one could have heard a pin drop in the OR at that point. Anyway, despite my embarrassment, I managed to ask the question and the surgeon quickly replied, reassuringly.
Great live stream man, I learned so much! Anesthesiologist is really really cool, one reason I wanted to be an anesthesiologist is because of the patient that tell all kinds of jokes and I love helping people and caring for people! What you doing for thanksgiving? Iâm hanging out with family! 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! It takes a special person to be an anesthesiologist or CRNA and youâre one of them! Anesthesiologist is the best!!!
The times ive had anesthesia. I recall waking up in a state of fighting and feeling like something was taken from me or I have lost something. A sense of urgency like I skipped a responsibility. đ
Waving the Propofol syringe around as you are talking .. love it.
I love your explanation
YOU ARE SUCH AN AWSIME DR. SO KNOWLEDGEABLE. WISH YOU WERE HERE IN CONNECTICUT!
You can tell who is and who isnât open to experience just by reading their comments, no drugs needed :) Thank you for talking about this, I had no idea this was a thing. Iâll be sure to apologize ahead of time before I go under.
Your knowledge is so need & appreciated. Thank you Dr. :)
You are truly a wonderful human/Doctor⊠Thank you!
When I go into surgery, I trust my doctor will do a good job, tell my anesthelogist what my allergies are, and hope things will go well. I think it is all about trust and being in the medical field, I know they will do the best job that they can.
That trust is very powerful! I hope it is giving you positive experiences in the past, has it?
@MedicalSecrets I have been operated on 5 times, and all have been good except the last one, this October, when I came out of anesthesia feeling a little unwell. My blood work was a little strange ,but I got better. I have another surgery in January, and I will mention this to my anesthesiologist so they can look at what was done the last time and maybe tweak it so I could do a little better. I know they are doing their best, and it might just be me because I am getting older. I think if you realize that they are there to try to give you the best experience, you will be fine.
Thank You for sharing this valuable information to help all of us with an experience/s that most of us will have to go thru at sometime.
Your knowledge helps us.
I have had quite a few surgeries and this has helped in understanding even though they are all in the past..
Thank you for your kind heart that wants and does help manyâ€ïžđ
Thank you Anthony, good video.
This is fascinating!
The post of your video where you mentioned manipulative!!! I immediately thought to myself, oh my god, how can I ever meet someone good someday. As in manipulative free lol. So thank you for this whole video. I would like to share, all of this being said thatâŠ. On the meyers- Briggs at age 15 and I am now 50âŠ. I scored in a clinical setting as infp/enfp⊠so equal introvert and extrovert. (And this whole comment post is just to help you with your own research which I highly appreciate you sharing from your perspective, itâs absolutely awesome and is of a perspective that only persons in your position after countless experiences first hand could. Share and usually donât!!! So thank you sooo much). ⊠And when it comes to surgery and anesthesia, I have always been a cryer when waking up from anesthesia. But also a history of depression from childhood but from actual life experiences that were life changing and traumatic.
All of that aside, I mostly just want to share my last experience which was quite funny, during a colonoscopy and not emotional at all. Instead it was out of body! (Which they hemi-synch training thru the Monroe institute in the late 90s and ketamine experimentation in the early 90sâŠ. Iâm well versed in the exploration of. But also as a young child and going on flying adventures spontaneouslyâŠ. Anyway, at the time of this colonoscopy last year I was 49 and my daughter was 7 years old. My father had to either pick me up in time or leave to get my daughter and come back depending on how long the procedure lasted. SoâŠ. The way this went was thatâŠ. He showed up and when he was at the desk and In the moment of telling them he had leave to get my daughter off of the bus and then come backâŠ. In that moment, I was out of body and there listening realizing and watching it take place and completely aware of this as it was happening I remember flying as fast as I could through the bookshelf back into the operating room back into my body and when I did that, my body literally jumped off of the table and scared the crap out of the anesthesiologist nurse who was there in charge of bringing me out of the anesthesia. đ. So I just had to share this experience with you for your own collective data factors, as well as the fact that it was really funny for me and the nurse lolđ. And my first anesthesia experience where I didnât wake up crying. :)
Omg I love seeing my own scans and getting pictures of my scans: am fascinated seeing my cancer or whatever. I think those cells are so clever, want to understand them, see them, bodies and medicine are fascinating.
Wow, interesting video. I think, taking from experience, that if the doctor/s treating you are friendly and make you feel comfortable, it will for sure make you feel the same and trust between patient and doctor is really important to have. Thanks for the great videos Dr. Kaveh!
Thank you so much for this great education and your time.
Hello!! Great to see your videos even days later⊠Iâm last days of my school semester âŠbeing busyâŠnever catch you live đąIm not physically organized, but my choices are. I follow all the rules due to the fact that I donât play with my health..Thanks for what you do!!
He is so sweet and smart. Easy to listen to. God bless you,, Richard Burton Houston Texas
Yes I agree with you. I'm a mixture of awareableness and the neuroticism.
†It's heartwarming to hear your explainations. When things go wrong in surgery where do you turn?
My dad fell from a ladder and rode a steel I beam down 30 feet to a concrete floor. He broke his upper femur near the hip joint. The surgeon that screwed his bones back together Told us that he talked the whole time during surgery saying thank you. I appreciate the using of your skill for my benefit, you guys are doing a great Job. Just the most encouraging. Also apparently he saw lots of pretty pink clouds. The whole OR team told us he was their favorite patient.
He was really a very encouraging and happy person.
I so appreciate your insights in this realm - we're so lucky that anesthesia is a science, and that anesthesiologists are willing to put up with us patients as vulnerable humans in this moments. We will never be more naked than we are under anesthesia, but i strive to be as vulnerable in my day-to-day interactions, and i hope this reflects when I'm under. Thank you for being a consummate professional and showing us the background and behind the scenes of the health system - a movement of transparency has been needed for a while, despite how uncomfortable it makes some people . Thank you again for everything you're doing, for your passion and education and empathy
I had surgery six months ago for a meniscus tear. My first memories upon waking was the PACU RN being very mean and telling me to keep my finger straight for the pulse oximeter and saying i need a sleep apnea machine. I had the sensation of being oversedated. I was having a hard time staying alert. After an hour in PACU they finally let my husband see me. They told him i was having problems with pain which i don't remember them asking or giving me anything. I just felt overly sedated and i can remember my O2 sats being in the 80s and not being put on oxygen. Does this make any sense to you? I had an overwhelming sense i was close to death. I will never have elective surgery again. I'm an RN. I think I received poor post op care and have the suspicion they were being deceptive with my husband and I about what actually took place. Does this happen after anesthesia?
I think the nurses thought I was about to attack my anesthesiologist before surgery. I was wheeled into the room and they needed me to adjuat myself onto the table. At the same time the nurse was making conversation, asked where I wanted to vacation next, then said I'm gonna start getting sleepy because the anesthesiologist gave me the medicine already. I was like, "What do you mean already?â They said as soon as I entered the room. Idk how she did it, I never saw her near me really, so I raised myself up and started asking again. I was upset, because she should have at least told me what she was doing. I think they didn't expect me to raise up so fast. Last thing I remember is everyone gasping and rushing toward me. đ
Oh my gosh! Iâm agreeable! I remember when I woke up after surgery last year, I was so grateful, and I was thanking all the nurses for their great care. Thatâs so funny! I had no idea that I fell under one of these 5, but I knew as soon as you said it because I remembered! đ
Wow! Isn't it so interesting how that can pop up when you hear it?
I'm clearly an A in this acronym; but I'm also chatty when I get in the OR. I always let the team know that I trust them, know that I am in good care, and appreciate all they will do for me. And I'm good with that. Interesting info., doc! Thanks.
I love to hear that level of insight! Thank you so much for sharing!
@@MedicalSecrets My being positive towards the medical team benefits me also; helps me to squash any angst that may be waiting to rise. Thank you- very interesting!

@@karencronin9502 Let's just hope you're always right. Because you know what you call someone who graduated at the top of his medical school class? A doctor. Do you know what you call someone who graduated last in his medical school class? A doctor.
@@redlikewineagain697 heart rate 110-130 24/7 for 2-3 days after 5hr, 3hr and 2hr ear surgery about a year apart. Same each time. Different anesthesiologist each time. Was sent home same day each time. Tube down the throat breathing machine surgery. Got any ideas what causes that? Take Atenolol 25 mg for 20 years. Only med except Valium for anxiety 5 mg.
That's such an interesting analysis
Fascinating! One could possibly find out what they're truly like w/o their fear and trauma effects. It could be a target for psychotherapy. My mind is going wild with possibilities, but I do realize that it's easier said than done. đ Thank you very much!
Thank you Doc. Great to know
Ive always wondered if i said things i otherwise wouldnt have when under anesthesia. Hearing this list of different personality types and how they behave is reassuring for me. Thnx a lot doc
Happy Holidays Dr.Kavah
Hi Dr. Kaveh! Thank you for making such inspiring great videos, you are truly an inspiration and I have learnt so much regarding power over health. I was wondering if you have any advice for someone scared of needles - I am terrified and hope you can give some tips, I could really use it! Thank you so much again! Really appreciate it :)
Breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth, for like 6 seconds, hold it for 6 or 7 and exhale slowly through your nose.While exhaling purposely lower your shoulders and think relaxation. Keep doing that and just focus on something across the room. Never look at the needle. I've been doing this for years. It really helps. đ€
Oh my goodness, I learned I was an empath along time ago, but I did not realize thatâs why I behave the way I do with all the surgeries Iâve had. Iâm the one thatâs in awe of their skills and the job they have. I always ask them how they re doing and how they deal with the cold room. Etc
I also start cracking jokes too ease my tension.
The surgeons in Madison always make me feel very comfortable before going under and explain things as they go along.â€
I so appreciate your channel ! You are very compassionate. Ive been very fortunate to have had an exceptional Drâs perform my colonoscopies. Before he puts me under he tells me â think pleasant thoughts. Imagine you are at a place you love like the ocean or wherever it is. I never thought how my reactions are while being put under. I do wake up happy.
Ill remember to pin a note on my shirt if i ever need surgery that says "in the event of surgery please keep me away from all buttons and equipment while im waking up afterwards".
I had a freak accident and remeber the moments before, my hood popped up and i stiffened and bit my lip...then i remeber an ambulance and seeing my car with no dents. I recall the ambulance and my mom at the scene screaming and i wqs trying to stay alive but went under again. I then remember waking to feel a white sheet covering me and even my head. I talked to god about a do not resuscite form i filed with my explantion being YOU BETTER RESUSCITATE ME! So i pulled the sheet off and sat up and pushed the button i was laying next to and it wqs a door opener for paramedics and i noted that the door opened slowly so i was helping then by pushing the button when they were wheeling in the bodies. I dont know if ijust arrived or if i was dead. I know at least God revived me...i was happy and energetic and walked home.
My son had wisdom teeth removed. When he came out, we kept reminding him to sit down, because all he wanted to do was give firm handshakes, make direct eye contact, and tell everyone in the office Thank You. He went in very nervous, and came out full of gratitude. It was hilarious and heart warming.
Question: I am 84 years old and had a hip replacement in June, 2023, I am not scheduled for a cardiac ablation for Afib. Can receiving general anesthesia twice in one year cause cognitive decline? What can I do before surgery to keep mentally healthy afterwards? Thank you for all the wonderful videos I have watched for a long time. I wish I had you as my anesthesiologist! Amy Jo
My father had white cats sleeping in his hospital bed!! đ
I was told I smiled all during my surgery under general.
Iâll bet that made them happy
Wonderful insight yes I agree five personality traits would empower a person 24:18
I believe I give the impression of being extroverted which I use as a way to survive socially, but in essence im extremely introverted. Im the type that love quiet and solitude.
Iâm about half and half. I love peopling until I donât.
Same
I mix a lot of all of this, on the surface appearing to be a very strong 2 and 1 with a large sprinkle of 3. But underneath it all is 5 with a touch of 4 manipulative.
Due to complex PTSD, I am in a state of panic being in a weakened and vulnerable condition when in the hospital.
This manifests as me being kind, caring, and empathetic to the hospital staff on a concious level. And i mean it. I do appreciate the staff, i work in healthcare and so I have better understanding than many people of the joys and hardships of the field.
Yet, due to trauma, my amygdala sees all of the staff as captors that I am too weak to take on physically who must be carefully kept de-escalated and regulated in mood as much as possible.
I can only assume that if i was ever held hostage, this part of my brain would be calculating how to keep my captors as non-violent towards me as possible. The scary part is that it also seeks out everything in the environment that could be used as a weapon and looks for potential weak spots in the people around me. This even occurs in the friendly environment of the hospital, particularly after my thyroid surgery. I guess the amygdala didn't like my throat being cut, even in the careful context of surgery.
I do not rest in the hospital, my brain will only allow a light doze. After a few day stay, I fell into a deep sleep the moment i was in our car with my husband. And when i got home, slept for 18 hours straight.
Always facinated with your information.
I've had numerous general anesthesia surgeries. I consider going under as a vacation from life and ask to be put as far under as possible. I ask for warm blankets and footies. Then I drift into blackness with a smile on my face. Waking up is the opposite fee, 'Oh crap, back already; here we go, pain and rehab'.
I have Major Depreessive Disorder that is treatment resistant. Even a few hours respite from it is welcome. OR's are second homes to me; now retired, I spent many years assisting with surgery, I loved everything about it except the early morning hours,
For my own surgeries I do extensive research on the procedures and even watch a video of the operation if I can find one. By the time I am rolled into the OR I have spoken at length with the surgeon and anesthesiologist. They have gained my trust and I feel comfortable in their hands. Prayers to Jehovah God are essential throughout the process. In the OR He has given me peace and feeling safe in Jehovah's hands I am ready to fall fast asleep.
Loving so much thanks
I came out trying to be in control of everything....asking professional questions about the surgery, and getting an order to have the cath removed. If I didn't have to have anesthesia I wouldn't just so I could assist. Did I tell you that I am an RN? Also I was labeled the 'star patient'...go figure. Let's just say I know enough to get up and ambulate to not throw an embolism, do the breathing exercises, and turn to avoid decubs which can only take hours to form. No pain meds for me didn't need them or want to consume addictive substances - not chancing addiction as I have seen working in shock trauma step down.
I'm the happy carefree patient đ
I wanted to remember everything and not have any conscious sedation, for my lower back, radio frequency ablation. The doctor said, I didn't have to have it, so I didn't. They had me sign another consent form. I got too much Lidocaine and could taste it. I told him and he quit giving me any more. He did the last nerve without it. I did the relaxation breathing. I saw how it tasted. It looked like a little, rectangular, gray sandstone. The nerve being burned looked like a little, blue, electric star. I had my eyes closed. I was hallucining from the Lidocaine. I thanked the doctor. He said, I did well. The nurse asked me if I was OK and wheeled my gurney into recovery. I said, that I was fine, as long as I had my phone. I had my phone with me, the whole time. I had it by my head, so it wouldn't get near the X-ray.
I bet my secret personality is extremely anxious
Iâm like that only in the beginning too
I'm like: who cares, what could be?
Mine too đ
Itâs the LIES about how your dignity is protected under anesthesia.That piss me off the most.Did you know that after you are put to sleep and before surgery you are stripped naked in every inch of your body, including your rectum, is examined.
Do you have anxiety disorder? I have one, but is is not my Personality. In Psychology there are more Types to find out which personality you have, but everyone could know it without a test, just be honest to yourself.
Even though I have anxiety..I never feel stressed going in. I can't wait for anesthesia. I stress over the dar iv going in my hand or arm. No pain threshold. But I wake right up in recovery wanting food.
I usually want to try any crackers they have...lol. I asked for peanut butter and halfway through I want cheese so I just eat them all
âYour Personality *REVEALED* Under Anesthesiaâ would have been the correct phrase to use for the title of this video.
IDK. I remember swearing like a sailor. I used the most foul language ever.
I really appreciate you describing everything in your videos you are awesome thank you
So interesting dr Thankyou
You are so welcome! I hope you learned something new to advocate for your health đ
This was an amazing video and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain these things even to people who don't want to hear it.
I am SO an Extrovert! I love chatting up the team in the O.R. I find it reassuring if the team is in good spirits.
Very interesting.
Apparently I came out of anesthesia âfighting â after a long surgery- the nurses seemed mad at me and seemed to be holding me personally accountable for something I have no memory of. It felt abusive as they were complaining and I was trying to recover from surgery. Why would this have happened and how will I ever feel comfortable having surgery again. Should I share this should I ever need surgery in the future?
