Unless they bring out the spring loaded tooth smasher, then yeah something like that.

 

 

I don't think the tooth that's coming out would be smiling. I suspect that picture to be a fraud, but ask fancynapkin, he knows about these things.

There are several levels of general anaesthesia. Don't remember the details, but I have a friend who is an anaestheologist who explained it to me. Wisdom tooth removal is a fairly light anaesthetic that requires neither a breathing tube, nor a catheter. I know I didn't have either when I had mine done. I didn't even have a catheter when I had my gallbladder removed. You should probably watch the language, especially when you don't know what you're talking about.

 

 

Be prepared to be called an idiot and stuff.

My dad is a surgeon and he recommended that I not go under if I wanted to recover quickly. Plus he said there's always a chance something might go wrong and you'll never wake up! His advice was not to go under unless necessary.



That's what my dentist said too...then he x-rayed me and said "Yeah...you'll need to be put under general anesthetic..." :)

As for the "never waking up" part, I could tell the anesthetist was a bit nervous when I awoke. He kept barking directives at me like "wake up, wake up, get up, come on, you can't stay here all day". I felt like my heart was stuck in neutral, no strength at all, so I wasn't exactly happy with him. After half a minute or so I managed to retort "Look, I know it's probably tee-off time somewhere, but I can't even lift my damn arms, so give me a minute ok?" It didn't occur to me until later that he might've been concerned about my not waking up as quickly as someone else.

BTW folks, I had a breathing tube for my procedure.

The lack of thoat snake negates the whole picture so I will not bother the napkin with this one.

So gallbladder removal does not need a catheter but tooth removal does huh????

 

 

That's only because gallbladder removals are done at the bottom of a swimming pool, so the chlorine takes care of the pee pee in the pool.

 

I think I read that somewhere on the net.

I was specially refering to being unconcious and getting them taken out, which is what the thread starter was inquiring about.

 

He says "Wouldnt I want to be unconcious?"

I say "No, they would put tubes in you and you'll feel like {censored} when you wake up, local anaesthesia is better"
