1shauna1 129 Posted June 11, 2012 I had never had general before this surgery, and everything was fine. It was the weirdest feeling; after they inserted the IV, I just relaxed, next thing I knew, it was all over and I was up and walking to my room. I didn't even have any nausea afterwards. As a med student it may be even worse, knowing more of what can go wrong, but talk to your doctor and they'll reassure you. The results of this procedure far outweigh the risks! And to do your job, you're going to need to be in top shape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
