Im allergic to sedatives and ive had a few surgers it was nasty and painful. Its just one of those things you gotta live with and get over, pain is only temporary anyway
It's pretty crazy she abused her powwers that way. But still before we had proper anaesthetic people routinely had thyroid and other surgery without sedation. Of course I'd never want to go through that.
I don't know the specifics, but I do know that the Hippocratic Oath is only taken by doctors. I haven't looked into the nuts and bolts of a nurse's training, so my knowledge there is rather limited. For all I know, they could take something like it.emeraldrafael said:
Oka. Well, I'm sorry and I'll edit my post. I just remember her talking about something like it and taking an oath, though maybe it was something person she and her friends did. it was way back at the beginning of the year, and thats a concussions Hockey games/accidents in between.Macgyvercas said:
Being someone who has woken up during the middle of a few different surgeries, and have had quite a few "out-patient" procedures where the anesthesia didn't take properly (but left me in a relatively shtoopified state) . . . I can fully understand what the guy musta gone through . . .
. . . and yeah, doctors do sometimes make the decision to continue with a procedure. I once had oral surgery where 4 molars were being removed, and was put under (thanks to how I tend to brush off local anesthetic) and I woke up during the procedure, I remember being in hellatious pain, then blacking out again. The surgeon approached me in recovery afterwards, and apologized for it, but stated they had already given me enough anesthetic to sedate 10 grown men, and any further medicine was out of the question.

True, but I was trying to soften it down a bit for the more squirmy that faint at the thought of using porcupines as beard combs, and ground sasquatch hearts as toothpaste. Damn sissy's can't even take a lil 6 inch needle to the kidneys w/o crying!Twad said:
He still got a small dose, and you have to keep in mind that Fentanyl is much stronger than morphine. He said he remembered someone holding him down, so he probably has a few blanks here and there between falling in and out of consciousness, but overall remembers most of the procedure because of the pain. There was no way he could have declined the procedure in time unless he refused prior to injection. The nurse probably told him he was shit out of luck after administering a partial dose.dogstile said:
Failure to treat pain and administer proper dosage of analgesics would be more than enough to have Ms. Casareto's licensed suspended.Judging from the fact that she resigned than rather go through a drug test, she's a pusher stealing meds from the hospital who would rather step down than get caught and arrested.
The hospital could be sued as well for improper treatment of pain and staff incompetence.
We still haven't been told if he was told before or after. I said this in another one of my posts.Small Waves said:

When I was sixteen I had to have major surgery on my jaw, and a few months before the procedure I saw a TV special about exactly what you described. That was what I was most afraid of, not the actual surgery--which involved them unhinging my jaw and filing down my jawbone--but waking up during it.MolotoK said:
But yeah this woman should definitely go to jail. Also, I feel like when your patient is screaming and writhing in pain, and one of your nurses is high off her tits telling said patient to "go to your beach . . . go to your happy place" that's a clue to the doctors that maaaaaybe something is wrong.
