Anaesthesia truth telling.....

Well, it’s not a truth that you can rely on so I’m not really sure what’s the point?

absolute rubbish. (DOI: anaesthetist.)

No, I was similar. Mainly by complaining that it fucking hurt and I wanted some fucking pain relief NOW. I was 16 at the time and ordinarily the most timid little mouse but I swore like a trooper until they gave me some morphine to shut me up again (and they were definitely trying not to laugh whilst doing so).

It's fun being allergic to sulfonamides. They give you all the best alternatives, apparently.

It does work and he’ll most likely not remember you ever asked him or whatever he divulged but the window of opportunity is narrow. You need to be pretty swift.

Listen to to surgeons not dream beleivers and get some help it may help with lots of things

This may or may not be the case. One of my (adult) kids had an op and I was in recovery with them and stayed overnight, got special dispensation as they are vulnerable and I was a clinician myself. They would have written exactly what you have, and truly believe it, but I can say it was not the case.

The loopy-ness is going to wear off by the time he leaves the recovery room either to come home or be moved to a bed for the night. You also couldn’t trust anything he said was true.

I had surgery recently and I remember being woken up and I was completely with it; I didn't hallucinate and I had no patchy memory after waking up. So if it affects your husband like it affected me, he's going to see what you're trying to do and have no problems remembering it!

I wake up from anaesthesia first thinking that the operation hasn't happened yet and then knowing it has and asking if it was okay. No truth telling. Pure self interest.

Pentobarbital isn't used as an anaesthetic in the UK, so this is nonsense.

When I came round from a recent surgery, it definitely wasn’t truth I was telling to the doctor who came to check I was ok in recovery. What I meant to say was:
‘Hey, I recognise you from the day unit, you were having friendly workplace giggles with the female nurses earlier today, you guys seemed like you were having fun. That’s nice’

what came out instead was ‘I know you. You’re mean to women’ and then I passed out again.
Poor guy…. Never saw him again to apologise.

So in my personal experience, it’s bollocks.
(side note, kinda creepy you might think to do this & take advantage of your husbands vulnerability. Shame on you)

When I came round, I was apologising to the nurse for not doing my homework.

By time I got back to the ward, I was a lot more with it, but sleepy.

I don’t think visitors are permitted in the post op recovery rooms. The confused state you are thinking of (hoping for) will probably have passed by the time you see him.

I woke up and asked the nurse if she'd stolen my teeth while I was in surgery. But within a few minutes I was back to normal, a bit tearful but apparently that's common.

My DD talked absolute nonsense when I sat with her after having a tooth extracted! It was growing horizontally across the roof of her mouth and it needed removing before her brace!
I thought she had brain damage it was that bad! The nurse just told me it was completely normal and she was recovering well!

This is really odd op, abusive in its own way

That’s nothing! Years ago I was passing a hospital near me where a patient had come round from the anaesthetic and gone crazy. They escaped the hospital, followed by two male nurses trying to bring him back in. When he reached the road he grabbed one of the nurses and threw them in front of my car! That was a journey I won’t forget in a hurry! 😮

Other than throwing up every hour for the rest of the day my son was completely compos mentis after being under GA.

I was the same, I don't remember being in a recovery room at all, I was back in my bed on the ward when I came around and fully lucid. Maybe I did spout some nonsense in recovery but thankfully I don't remember and I'm sure the medical professionals see and hear all sorts.

That's interesting. I've had two GAs in the last few years and just remember going from out of it to waking up reasonably suddenly. I don't think I said anything at all. Do love the relaxed feeling after though.

When you wake up from GA, you're very groggy and a nurse is there. By the time they wheel you to recovery I'm completely with it. He won't be confused/groggy by the time you get to see him

I've had GA a few times and I've never been confused/ spouted rubbish.

Coming round from anaesthesia is just a wobbly haze. Don't get involved in this because it is unreliable so it will cause you problems.If he says yes he had an affair, you'll dismiss it as gibberish.If he says no he didn't have an affair, you'll dismiss it as gibberish.Youll be no further forward and he may very well remember the question and you'll be in more of a state than you are now.

People talk absolute gibberish coming round from an anaesthetic. I'm more concerned about you though, what kind of person's reaction to their partner's operation is "I wonder if I could interrogate him about something he didn't want to tell me".

I have said some strange things coming round from anaesthetic. Nothing true!!

Sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous. When I woke up, I confessed that I had an affair with Brad Pitt and that I felt guilty because of Angelina and girls code.
By the time I was back in recovery where DH was allowed to wait, I was very clear in my head again and fully able to control what I say. I think your imagination is way off.
