My General Anaesthetic: What's Going To Happen? Sarah's Story at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

[@rachelstewart4050]

I'm getting teeth surgery In about 8 weeks, I'm quite nervous but this video has told me there is nothing to worry about ! I'm 14 years

[@amandataylor2994]

It's not bad. I also watched this video before I even knew I was going to have surgery. I had surgery about 2 months ago and I've been doing well. The anesthesia was awesome. It knocked me out and I slept a little after my second surgery.

[@malachigates2468]

Me too

[@anitapetrusova315]

thank you so much ! I was really scared before my operation , but this video helps me a lot ! ( sorry about nad english , I'm from Czech :-) )

[@sprinklefriend]

i'm 29 & have had 6 brain surgeries over the past few years, and will need them for the rest of my life. i also had an abdominal surgery when i was 6, back in the days before most people knew what the internet was and KZbin was still over a decade away! the ONLY preparation anyone in the medical field gave me for my surgery as a child came on the day of the operation. while i was in Pre-Op, they gave me a coloring book "to pass the time" - in reality, it was a coloring book that walked through what would happen! ironically, i still think EVERY HOSPITAL should offer such a thing even now! it passes the time, provides a welcome distraction, and also prepares you for what's ahead. plus, let's be honest - nothing is quite as scary if it's meant to be colored in. :-P HOWEVER, i would have LOVED to have had a video like this! as much as i think the coloring book is a good idea, i also think things like this video are so very important. things have come a long way in the past two decades!

[@robfenty6858]

You are very lucky to have this type of hospitals. In Argentina entered the hospital and we are fearful

[@rushthatspeaks9467]

You will be wide awake...and then SUDDENLY the operation is over and you wake up in a hospital bed with the doctor and 2 nurses and family members standing over you lol. It's pretty cool.

[@Chelle8847]

it really is, it doesnt feel like any time has passed its kinda freaky haha

[@daniellabarry8210]

I am an adult and this really helped me! Transactional Analysis!

I have no shame about being seventeen and watching this. Having my wisdom teeth removed this month, and my jaw reset in a few. This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@jacmitchell8810]

For anyone scared of general anaesthetic: I just had surgery today, and let me tell you, you have nothing to worry about. 1 minute they are putting the iv in you( which doesn't really hurt as bad as you think it is) and then the next minute you are waking up in recovery. Super simple and I'm kinda embarrassed I got so worked up for not that much. Good luck!

[@Leenie42785]

This was great! I wish they had this when I had my first surgery as a child. It would've calmed a lot of my nerves & fears!! Just glad it's available now!

[@ethanpayne8385]

this video has helped me so much im having my operation on the 3rd of january 2017 and i was very worried although im 13 . this video has helped me get over the fear of the anasthetic so thank u

[@brooklepooklemynookleyoke7198]

She looks so happy....

[@DarrenJohnston20]

She does right !!! Soooo happy

[@helenjones7579]

My 9 year old child has had 2 operations and a scan requiring an anaesthetic but was a little young to remember them. I think she actually enjoyed watching this video before she had to go for her third operation and I really think it helped her get over some of the anxiety and she was actually quite interested in which way she would be put to sleep by the time she got to the operating room.

[@lpschoclatechipcookies7708]

Made me calmer for my upcoming surgery

[@MrScoopoo10]

*wakes up from coma* mom : yay your alive me: im going back to bed

[@the0range0wl97]

This video is really interesting. I like the narration too.

[@Sefrios]

Got an op day after...I'm 22 years old and this seriously helped me with my anxiety about going under.

[@omguho]

me too! haha

[@sinapirmeh3940]

Thank god i thought everybody here was just a kid. Hard to blend in hahaha

[@KellyIsShort]

I had surgery on my leg when I was 11 in 2012. It's actually quite fun before, I was watching TV and playing video games! Everyone was so kind :)

[@merissastarmsp4132]

Oh good, because I'm getting an accessory navicular bone removed from my foot! The one thing I'm scared about is when they put you to sleep. Is it scary? And also, do you act weird when you wake up, because if so I will definitely bring my camera xD

[@KellyIsShort]

It'll be fine, trust me! It isn't scary at all! And I didn't wake up weird, you probably won't either! Don't be scared though, everything shall go to plan and you'll wake up with a smile on your face! Keep positive! Good luck!

[@merissastarmsp4132]

Thanks!

[@KellyIsShort]

Not a problem! :D

[@Lozza2004]

[@turtlelord5186]

When I was five I had my tonsils removed, i just remember that they gave me some anaesthetics (i didn't look so i don't know what color), and about 2-3min. later i felt really sleepy and soon fell asleep , i woke up about 20min. later in my hospital room(it's a short surgery). Theres nothing to be afraid of just stay positive! Great video!

[@smurlr4854]

[@laurenbutterworth9557]

I had to have an operation on my eye. You do not remember anything. It doesn't hurt one bit when you are put to sleep and you wake up normally! 😜

[@markvargas5926]

does it feel like your in a coma or are your just a sleep like when we go to bed

[@chronicallyantonia5310]

Thay put me to sleep with a mask it was a funny feeling But I did not hurt

[@adelaidehulahoopers9286]

you pass out and then suddenly wake up in recovery. I awoke in a reclining chair. Most luxurious.

[@volumealphid0265]

I feel so much better about surgery now!

[@rockstarswannyswanton1736]

Im having surgery tomorrow on my eye I was scared but I feel confident and less scared now

[@RealQuin]

had all my wisdoms out yesterday. nurses were the nicest medical staff i've ever met. the anaethetist drugged me before I noticed. then I was in recovery. It was all so... easy. I love Australia.

[@flynnrobinson2211]

I was so scared but this helped me thx

[@theartclub4330]

This chap makes things simple to understand for lil kiddies

[@krystalneena656]

I feel much better now

[@erictaylor5462]

I wish I had this video when I was 10 (1980). I'd already had lots of surgeries before I turned 3 by including the amputation of my leg below the knee just after I turned 3. By age 10 I required more surgeries to correct problems with how I was growing. I had no memories of the surgeries I'd had before and all the noises, smells, lights, and such made me scared. I had no real idea what was going to happen. I had the gas every time, and it was an extremely strange experience. The put the mask on me and the gas did have a strong smell and taste. I heard a bell ringing and the lights started to flash, then without anything happening in between I woke up in the recovery room feeling very thirst.

[@ProfGop]

Same here

[@erictaylor5462]

Professional Medic This was a fantastic video.

[@pamelapratama9162]

i always wanna be treated like a kid when im sick. wanna be treated like this even im grown up😂

[@lunawolf983]

[@hannahmillar7719]

I saw sarah when I went for my broken arm operation

[@TheBritts5]

How long did Sarah have to stay? I went through 4 surgeries this year and had to stay in the hospital for, he shortest time was 3 days, the longest was 5 days.

[@ciciliebekker6133]

I got that "Magic milk" and I was about to say what it tasted like xD but I fell asleep before I said what it tasted like xD

[@hannahlefebvre5522]

when i had my surgery, they put a flavor in the mask and i could smell it for about 10 seconds and then it started smelling like permanent marker. I think the flavor I chose was strawberry.

[@nathantaste1294]

iwish i had being told what will happen there i was shocked by everything in my surgery

[@whitingfamily8234]

i love your vids

[@Brittandzach1310]

[@Fluffypaw101]

The best part looks like sleeping and I want the tube. that makes you fall asleep so I can fall asleep easily for school.

[@ashley2680]

but anesthesia is only for surgery or investigations.

[@worcestershireanaesthesia8363]

This is a mock up of several different ways a child may be put to sleep for any operation (or investigation requiring general anaesthesia) using actors to play the patient and the mum.

[@KristianLegend]

I had to have an operation on my right index finger as I damaged it by slitting it on something sharp and I had cut through a nerve in my finger and they had to stitch it up and stitch my finger up. But before that they put the cold white stuff into my vein on the back of my hand and then gave me the vanilla smelling gas mask and then 20 - 30 seconds after....I went into blackness all the way through the sleep was black for 30 minutes and yeah guys to me it was blackness I went into

[@emmathorndyke]

Thank you this has really helped me.. I am 14 and debating if I want my ears pinned back. I really do but I am absolutely terrified of injections and I know I would have to have a Iv . Although I am a bit old for that type of stuff in the video making it sound like a dragon fly has really helped me. I know it's not but it has helped

[@matildaboateng444]

[@alliewilk3728]
