Dr. Kaveh,
I just had my 60th surgery in Tampa, FL, and I asked my surgeon who has done many surgeries on me in the past: My favorite anesthesiologist gave me Versed in the Pre-Op area, and then I was taken to the operating room and I remember going into the OR and my surgeon was standing next to in between where they rolled the bed to and her and I remember she smiled at me and then the OR nurse helped me get on the table and as soon as I laid my head down that was the last thing I remembered and so I asked her and she said it was the Propofol! Evidently, unknown to me the anesthesiologist, was standing behind me out of my view and was pushing the Propofol thru my IV as I was getting on the table. So like, that was before any of the monitors got put on. Have you ever heard of them giving the propofol that quickly and before getting monitors on? I do sometimes remember previous surgeries the mask going over my face for oxygen but other than that, at this hospital in Tampa, they seem to be very sneaky and good at it in getting the patient induced into general anesthesia before the patient even realizes it’s happening. Thoughts?

I told staff that I was guaranteed to be nauseous and/or puke. Both in post-op and from at home recovery meds. It's just the way I have always been. The nurses just looked at me in bewilderment and scorn with a serious side-eye and asked "why". It really felt like they reluctantly gave me my scopalamine patch.
Patch was wonderful, but I woke up on day 2 of the patch being on and not being able to read at all up-close, and barely focus (dilates pupils). Freaked me out, nobody warned me. Hospital called and told me to take it off. Nausea and puke cycle started after that, with a 4am crisis. Heaving was not good for my abdominal incisions.
I was having a pain crisis as well anyway, so I got an emergency appointment to be seen and get new meds. I finally got nausea meds prescribed, and a shot of toradol. Which worked WAY better for me than the oxycodone they gave me (and gave me more of despite saying I didn't want more because it didn't touch my pain at all. As in, ibuprofen 800s worked better than oxy did).
Really strange medication management.

My first surgery I ever had was actually considered brain surgery (the surgeon did see my brain 😱) I had it in June this year 2023, I had an Arnold chiari malformation decompression surgery! I got woke up from surgery crying from the pain asking for my pieces of skull that they took (about a quarter size from my skull, and about a quarter size of my C1), then when I got back to my room at about 7 pm I was so hungry, my husband and son brought me pork belly ramen from my favorite restaurant and I ate it all, they also sent me home LESS THAN 12 HOURS AFTER MY BRAIN SURGERY 😵💫 it’s safe to say, I was recovering rather nicely 😁

I dos ask the nurse and anesthesiologist if my 15 y/o could listen to a couple songs before he went back as he was so scared and it fell of dead ear. They both smiled and ignored us. I had to push for the Zofran and the block that was supposed to be done while under did not get done and we were never told why.

You're absolutely a lovely person and physician. PEOPLE TELL YOUR ANESTHESIOLOGIST ABOUT ANY DRUG USE. I didn't and suffered. The NEXT time I did and it was received with compassion and gratitude. I'm 10yrs sober but DON'T KEEP ANYTHING FROM YOUR ANESTHESIOLOGIST. (Or any Dr for that matter)
