If the anesthesiologist f****d up you wouldn't know
edit:
since everyone is sharing their story i'll share mines. i was diagnosed with bladder cancer early 2022 with signs i ignored late 2021. between april 2022 – june 2023 i went through 5 surgeries to remove the tumors in my bladder. they kept coming back.
mentally preparing myself for the first trans-urethral resection, pre-op nurse just straight up told me if the anesthesiologist f****d up i wouldn't know..or wouldn't feel anything if s**t hits the fan. what a f****n pep talk huh? hahah.
christmas 2023 i was finally clear. i still go to chemo (doublet therapy?) and see a catheter 🙁 for gemcitabine/docetaxel.
