patients with a positive outlook recover from ailments fastest and also suffer less.
Endorphins.
When I need to have surgery, I make fun with the nurses before going under.
General anaesthetic is like a tunnel, the joke with which I leave consciousness, is the joke I enter with.
After the anaesthesiologist turns off the gas, I'm usually dressed and ready to get out of Dodge within half an hour.
The clown act is only part of the trick though.

(accident prone, I have season tickets for the operating room)
General anesthesia is bad very baaaaad. The worst psychological experience ever. Woke up, didn't know who the **** I was, where the **** I was. Terrible. Shouldn't have said 'who' as I really didn't have a clue if I was animal or plant. Did I say terrible? Terrible, terrible experience, never again. Nooo mama don't want to go through that again.

Haven't ever had it, and refused it for a colonoscopy. Not the best experience, but I'd do it that way again.
My wife had anesthesia for hers and stopped breathing, and had to be revived. She won't do that again.

A young woman died the other day due to anesthesia complications - she just wanted to impress big titty lovers. So sad and so stupid to die like that.
In the meantime, we four kids help mom as best we can and try to point out ways she can do things without using the steps.
My mom called from the Toyota dealer yesterday -- she wants to trade her 2013 for the new 2015 because it comes equipped with Sirius Satellite Radio, GPS and the seats go back and forth electrically. She's 90, and I just bought her the 2013 18 months ago! I guess she'll be driving the 430 miles from Ohio instead of me.
Edit -- it takes about one entire week to recuperate one hour from general anesthesia.

It sounds like natural selection to me

Next time 😀 just try to benefit from jacco’s experience (mine too):

You will be surprised what a positive mindset can do.
I agree, this is far more important than most people realize. Not just about your health, but about everything. I am sure we all know pessimistic people who are their own worst enemy. Don't be one of them. People who believe that they will fail, will! People who believe that they will succeed, might.
so it's all new doctors in a new state, and a third rate hospital.
I just got back from having a good sized chunk of flesh cut out of my leg, under local anesthesia. One of the nurses asked me 2 or 3 times if I was OK, so I finally asked her why she was asking. She said that she wondered why I kept turning my head and looking around. I said that I was simply following the fly around the OR.......OK I am glad I wasn't having a major operation. There was a Ladybug on the wall too, but it didn't move.
The older Chinese guy doing the cutting said that he got everything, but wouldn't show me the chunk. He said it was already in the sealed biopsy container.....results on Tuesday.
Your head valve is shot.
Chinese fortune cookie reads : if engine no good, make car lighter
Go low sodium, lose weight.(you don't sound all that healthy for a 59 year old)
I might have made a mistake; now I think it's my right side that is larger (heart). ...I was looking @ myself from a mirror.
* I'm curious; you seem to be well knowledgeable in the affairs of the human body conditions, heart & all...Are you a doctor?
This is VERY important. First of all , hospitals can tell you that patients with a positive outlook recover from ailments fastest and also suffer less.
Then ,another point, that sounds weird but has been proven to be true by labs in the US and elsewhere. The 'body' is a living being by itself ! "YOU" ARE NOT YOUR BODY ! They also teach you to 'talk to your body' ! Traditional Yoga teachers ask you to talk to your body BEFORE doing any yoga exercise. In today's world with millions of 'yoga teachers' , many don't even mention this aspect of yoga!
If you check out genome theory you will find that the smallest independent cell in your body is a living thing complete with a brain ! It also responds to your state of mind . Positive minds make the cells more energetic and negative minds make the cells weak and less active. Positive minds therefore help to face medical issues more robustly than a negative mind set.
Try having a 'happy' conversation with your body every morning and see what happens in a week's time !
Cheers.🙂
Very true what you just said; without a willing mind a body will fall sooner than later.
If you talk to your body; all the most gorgeous girls around will want to talk to it too.
A young woman died the other day due to anesthesia complications - she just wanted to impress big titty lovers. So sad and so stupid to die like that.
Truly sad indeed. ...Our society, here in North America, and over there in Russia, are full of values that are best kept secret in the underground world of Hollywood celebrities and soap opera TV shows and glamour magazine advertising consumption.
When I first appeared in this world (day one), I knew right away that it wouldn't be so easy, and that this was no paradise.
But I didn't have any choice, no option was proposed to me. They didn't show me other unknown planets of the universe where life is immortal, good health is perpetual, no doctors, no garages, no oil, and no wars and no viruses. ...No, nobody showed me any of this; they just said do your best with what you got now, on this planet. Then right on day one I started to cry... Today, I still remember that day.
.......If you talk to your body; all the most gorgeous girls around will want to talk to it too.........
Hey, that's a new one !🙂
The bodies might talk to each other before "you two " do ! 😉
People who believe that they will fail, will! People who believe that they will succeed, might.
People who believe that they will never fail, will fail too, and, generally, in a most spectacular manner! Beware of strong wills: beware of Napoleons and Adolf chumps.
Some people's egos don't let them see the reality of what they do. Either they don't realize that their endeavor did not succeed at all of its goals, or the failure was someone else's fault.
The people who do recognize those failings generally try again, and ultimately succeed or move on to new and different goals.
General Anaesthesia
I agree that general anaesthesia is best avoided. Had it a decade or so ago for a hernia repair. I though, going in (or under) what a fine experience it would be-being treated with high-tech, pure drugs in carefully calibrated doses......
Woke up feeling about as bad as I have ever felt with my worst whiskey hangovers, in addition to having absolutely parched and chemically-malodorous sinuses.
Not for me!
Subsequently, I refused to be put under for a colonoscopy. The experience was not comfortable, but it was absolutely over when it was over, AND I was able to watch what was going on. I think that even highly-paid professionals with god complexes probably work better when they are being observed and I have heard enough tales of colon tears during colonoscopies that I thought a degree of caution useful.
In the US, if you are contemplating retirement, you are also in the zone for a colonoscopy. I recommend staying awake unless you have low tolerance for discomfort.

knowledgeable in the affairs of the human body
A doctor is someone who last practiced medicine within a maximum period of years, the number set by the national medical association.
Here it's five years, four in the US I believe, same period/rule applies for specialist doctors.
My g/f charges a 87.50 consultation fee, also for sexual favors, on top of which she writes papers that I can exchange for drugs.
She says she's a doctor, with both a valid general physician license, and a specialist doctor registration.
I don't know, for some reason she reminds me of the escort girls and dope pushers who paid me 10% mediation fee in my side-show job while at university.
Me, I'm a survivalist.
I can design and build an improvised airplane, like Hardy Krüger in Flight of the Phoenix (1965 original).
I can rebuild any kind of engine, gas, diesels, gas turbines, have also done so.
I can design and build cars and boats, know how to weld steel, aluminum, any other kind of metal, also done so.
I know decompression tables by heart, thoroughly studied the US navy seal survival handbook, have ample experience with anything that shoots or stabs. I can dive, cross country ski, also climbed mountains.
(plus can stitch wounds with the right suture and correct knots, have professional experience with surgical scalpels, can amputate body parts, know how to administrate drugs, read a medical vademecum and know every body part name in latin)
Why be a doctor if you can become an engineer !

Other than that, I'm a total idiot and stuck tubes in several AH's without an anaesthetic.

/I have a book on surgery and in the chapter on anesthesia there is lots of talk on we aren't sure of how this stuff works. Some is well know and some is unknown but I still took the drugs for my first colonoscopy.
