It maybe is. The surgeon was surprised when I declined general anesthesia for surgery on my wrist bones. Apparently nearly everyone wants to be put under if they're going to cut.
Objectively sedation would be the riskiest part of the procedure. And I wanted to see what it looked like. It was completely painless, but also quite unsettling. I'm pretty distant and cold about things in general, and I would imagine other people might find it distressing or even traumatic.
- aaron695 6y agoThere have been studies on babies with and without anesthesia. From memory, with anesthesia was better for the baby. But being one of the many political biologies I'm not sure I'd trust the result.
