From what I’ve read, doctors aren’t really sure why anesthesia works. 12 years to become a anesthesiologist?! That’s serious dedication
Herbivore024
Don't forget the amazing anti anxiety medicine and pain pills :D

Lucky. My universe won't get that for like 30 years
damelamusica
I’m so sorry.

hallelujah!

And torture as an investigative tool is at least frowned upon.
whyWontKeiraKnightleyReturnMyPhoneCalls
I mean .... I'm 34 and i'm pretty sure if I'd been born literally any other time I'd be dead by now

Tooth extraction ?
jabbadabbadoooo
After I did surgery in my calcaneus, the pain went from torture to I can't feel a thing in 30 seconds when they put in the nerve block.
holtermonster
dude, no kidding. if i had lived in another time i just would have been hunched over in pain for my whole short life probably.
LizIrish
Had a baby 5 weeks ago, and an emergency gallbladder removal / clogged bile duct / liver infection last week. I COMPLETELY agree.
GreyCatClub
Hope you and the baby are doing well, sounds awful to have all that right after a baby.
LizIrish
We’re doing great, thank you. Glad to have family around to help & at least we’re all back together now.
buttscratchergetyourbuttscratched
Yep. Your welcome. I hope your epidural/facet/transforaminal injection helps. Keep in mind the spinal cord stimulator if not.
Hanisalive
I have that! Life changing
crosenfi
Timely for me.

Nerve blockers are so sick. Got one for first surgery. Had to request for #2. Got to watch doc hunt for nerve on ultrasound. AAAA++++
shoulkion
My dad can barely feel his foot because of a nerve block 2 years ago
leanzabonanza
Had wisdom tooth surgery yesterday way past when I was supposed to. Anesthesia is amazing
ohherroeeyore
Nerve block worked but made me feel weird.
HitlersArtCritic
Rather than the time when if you got hit with a bullet, you got an amputation to stop infection, which was a speed contest if anything.
kirbyvictorious
Same brotha/sista. High AF right now and I am very happy not to be in pain.
dan123dbl
Sounds like a slippery slope. Hope all is well!
kirbyvictorious
Just had surgery is all, everything's cool. Def appreciate modern medicine right now tho
ConfuseMeThis
Yeah, I've read about how natives used to do some minor skull surgery, with what, sand and a stick? Like fuck that, man.
damelamusica
“Here I’m going to take out a piece of your skull bone. Be a dear and hold still okay?”
ConfuseMeThis
Most likely they had an extremely painful headache. Just imagine the length of time needed to do that. Holy hell. Our ancestors had bigger->
ConfuseMeThis
Balls than we do today.
LorcrystNySell
Random Trivia : Surgery was invented a couple of centuries for Anesthesia ...
LorcrystNySell
that should be "BEfore" ...
bunnyrut
and surgeries can be done without cutting you completely open!
GreyCatClub
This! I was so sad my appendectomy couldn’t be through a scope since I was 34 weeks pregnant at the time :( but it all worked out ok
ArtieLangesNose
Nerve blockers worked for you? I had no luck with and terrible side effects.
carrionstorm
I just had acl reconstruction and mine worked for a couple days after the surgery even. But when it wore off, the pain was un-fuckin-real.
JagerKitteh
Same. Had them in my lower back right side. Got shingles less than a week later...no idea if they’re related though.
Prompegutten69
what are you blocking?

SlightlyDankMemes
Sodium channels probably
kirbyvictorious
You are awesome. Yay science!
doctorbees
Found the pharmacology student.
SlightlyDankMemes
No, but I had some pharmacy courses
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
Nerve blockers didn't work on me :( I was so damn hopeful too. I really thought it was going to be the final, actual cure.
SirBrendan
Nerve blockers exist for neuropathic pain. It's likely a degenerative muscle/nerve condition, general fibromyalgia, or scar tissue tearing
StalinWasMetal
Jesus....This is why you should shut the fuck up when you haven't a clue..
SirBrendan
So we just gonna be rude or are you gonna actually say something?
SirBrendan
Still trying to figure out if you're a brocialist or Nazi; admittedly, it's difficult to tell the difference.
damelamusica
Memories, at this point.

Constipation?

You okay ?

UnhelpfulAnswers
Rough childhood with uncle Billy around huh
PolarHailStorm
Versed / Midazolam, then.
Turner78
Pretty sure the entire am (pam, lam, pram etc) endings are benzodiazepines NOT nerve blockers.
PolarHailStorm
But if you cannot remember the pain you're in, were you ever really in pain?
valen00
They have had medication for that for quite a while, called scotch generally
notafan89
HeyHowdyHey
God that’s pretty.
Honeybadger2198
Or beta blockers.
MordorGate
No, no, no... you are thinking of tequila for memories.
DickPicEnthusiast
For potentially traumatic memories, administration of beta blockers (like propanolol) has been demonstrated to reduce their formation, when>
DickPicEnthusiast
>used preemptively before the trauma has set in. After that, your best bet is tequila, absynthe and the like.
HipsterFett
And vaccines have eliminated a great many deadly diseases!
FunandCasualGorilla
Like my ability to walk.
GreetTheReaper
So you are saying that vaccination make you unable to walk?
FunandCasualGorilla
It's a joke from BigMouth
GreetTheReaper
Oh, okay...
Fdan1
Vaccines made you unable to walk?
FunandCasualGorilla
It's a joke from BigMouth
Fdan1
Ok thx
FunandCasualGorilla
Man almost made an antivaxxer out of you.
Gearwe
And antibiotics are still mostly effective!
tr0Jan
But not vaccines, apparently, to the dumb shits that probably get a Tide Sundae for desert
RednapxpandeR
I feel bad for those people in 300 years :(
TrustmeIamdutch
As someone battling pneumonia.. I love my anti biotics!
ilovegramsalot
Yeah, thank God. I’m still reading the updated on drug resistant gonorrhea https://www.cdc.gov/std/gonorrhea/arg/default.htm

Mostly, not for long tho

Apparently they give me permanent nerve and muscle damage. Guess its better than death..still not sure.
ShooterMcGrabbin
And for everything else, there's tide-pods

You thought this was an imgur post? Wrong. It's a tide commercial.

Probably not for much longer.

Yup we give antibiotics for anything now. Sore throat? Antibiotics. Cold? Antibiotics. Anything non bacterial related? Antibiotics.
sexymeetzey
On the bright side resistance has pushed research. Phage and genetic based medicine will be the next generations penicillin.
mayorofpenistown
Please please for the love of all that is holy don’t let this technology fail Phase II clinical trails God.
doctorbees
Haha, take THAT stupid bacteria! How do you like getting infected, huh? HUH?
Porkshorts
Phage treatment was probably the coolest thing I learned about in my undergrad.

Using viruses to kill bacteria
Porkshorts
Pretty much what he said. The idea is to find viruses in nature that kill specific bacteria. Use it as an alternative to antibiotics.
