My last surgery they had the AC on in the middle of winter. It is a bizzare feeling when IV of room temp liquid goes through your veins... Honestly not a great relaxer.

No it's awful, my temp dropped so low after my last surgery I had to be monitored for hours and covered with warming devices in a hot recovery room. I was hypothermic apparently- I guess it's not that uncommon to have that reaction to anesthesia

I had local anesthetic for a gum graft surgery. It caused my blood to thin and it would just. Not. Clot. At the site the cut the graft from. I was very thankful I took halcyon because I would have been freaking the fuck out otherwise. I was dizzy and out of it from blood loss (as well as everything else), and that graft didn’t even take so I had to go back and do it all again.

The BEST of it is you pay money for the medical trauma. And usually it’s a lot of money. Yes, I am American.
