The Best Gen Z, Millennials, and Boomers under Anesthesia - LIVE

[@Brightangel55]

As a Boomer, I have a lifetime of losing faith in medical services. The loss of trust leads to fear and comes out as grumpiness and anger from my cohort I'm sure. You are one in a million, Doctor ! You must inspire many people - hopefully including other medical professionals.

[@deadfirefighter]

Are you an actual boomer, someone born during the baby boom right after WW2 or are you a Gen Xer who is embracing Dr. K using a derogatory term for us lumping us in with our parents generation? You are more than welcome to search for the names of each generation if you think I’m being unfair to a supposedly educated person who has chosen to us a derogatory term for people my age.

[@katiedid8192]

I’m a boomer and had an awful time finding a doctor who would listen in the ‘90s. I had fired 5 doctors and finally made an appointment with a new physician.. On the first visit he came into the room and asked what he could do for me. I told him I was there to interview him as I had had difficulty getting a physician I trusted since moving into the area. He actually sat on the exam table and we talked for 45 minutes. Then he asked me if he passed.🤣🤣🤣. I was delighted and he remained my physician for 25 yrs. Until he retired out of the area. The physician he referred to me has similar personality but Dr. S will never be replaced. He was a one of a kind.

[@CurioMin]

Gen X - the forgotten…. 😂 As a gen x member, we are not a blend of our parents or of our younger siblings. We created so much and brought extreme sports to this world.

[@MedicalSecrets]

Yes! I'm just saying the experiences under anesthesia are not as exaggerated as other generational differences

[@shelleythompson-brock6412]

True. But we're also usually the ones who don't take any guff from narcissistic, condescending doctors. It doesn't mean that they don't try, but we're usually the ones who have taken control over our minds, bodies, and mental well-being. We're usually well-educated and intelligent enough to discern good care.

Gen X is such a long stretch I’m one who had one lol Born jan 65 had my first Oct 83 I think of myself more as Boomer becuz I had babies early (next one in Nov 85)

Gen X grew up with the best music from the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s. Our music is *STILL* trending!

[@howlingwaters2741]

Late Boomer here. I interview my doctor before becoming a patient. Squeaky wheel, bunch of questions. I joke a bit with nurses, especially the ones with sourpusses. I make the surgeon laugh. I ask to see whatever is being removed when it's over😂 If I awaken during twilight, I let them know. As for *your* part in the procedure. Either a chat the night before, or day of before the drip. YOU literally have our lives in your hands. For me, God uses you as a conduit After the serious stuff, I'd call you "Dr. Feelgood". Either that or imagine Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb'. Because I'm a late Boomer😂

[@MedicalSecrets]

I love your perspective! I hope you can inspire hope and calmness in others here 🙏

[@howlingwaters2741]

@MedicalSecrets The only things I could add would be to leave the phones out of there for sanitary reasons. This will give more time for eye contact and real human nurturing. If the surgeon and staff are going to discuss the patient personally, they need to be nice or just be quiet. Once, I was not out yet. I was lying face down and had a question. The nurse was arguing with the surgeon that he better spend x amount of time in the O. R. for insurance to pay. Well, he got angry and was not gentle. I said something, and the nurse said, "How is she even talking??"😲 More anecdotes to come...🙂

The patient would have to consent. After the tiktok dr got in trouble for dancing while operating i doubt this will happen. She lost her license.

[@natalievancouver8188]

@@AliciaGuitar she lost her license for doing dances ect while over people with open skin and tissue. As well as not looking at her patients while preforming these. She was warned for several years but still did it. As a patient depending on where you live and laws ect you can request to watch your procedures. All surgeries are taped but I’m not sure if you can take a copy home but that’s one way doctors learn to preform specific surgeries. A friend in California who’s a surgeon said they all watch as many as possible and most are on KZbin.

[@abc-dj3dx]

You said something that struck a cord with me. You said that the past is depression and the future anxiety. The way to end the cycle is with curiosity. That left an impression and I wanted to truly say thank you. You are a good man.

[@MedicalSecrets]

I'm so happy that it resonated with you. I heard it from a psychiatrist named Dr Brewer. It has also fundamentally changed my understanding of anxiety vs depression. If you had ever suffered from these, I'm wishing you the best in healing 🙏

[@eed___]

That resonated with me as well. I think the wisdom comes from knowing that our brains are trying to predict outcomes most of the time and what usually happens with anxiety is that suddenly you're floaded with so many perspectives all at once that you can't analyze/verify or you enter tunnel vision and catastrophize one outcome that you fear the most. So, what I got from what he said was that training your mind to practice searching for more positive outcomes can greatly impact your mental state after surgery and that's when curiosity hits. You train your brain to make new associations, instead of relying on the conditionings of the past and then it will have more repertoire to predict favorable outcomes for you in the future 😊 No magical thinking here hehe, it's not about toxic positivity. Obviously, that can take some time, months or years for some people and the type of care and context we are surrounded by will make an impact as well. Releasing depression is much more efficient when you can focus on releasing the emotions that were trapped and couldn't be expressed at the time, such as: fear, toxic shame, inappropriate guilt, repressed anger.

[@VickiNotley]

I am from South Africa. Had surgery 3 weeks ago. Your videos gave me the confidence to advocate for myself, not be afraid to ask questions to the doctors and I woke up with no pain. Didn’t need any pain medication and was up and walking around a few hours after both my overies and my uterus wereremoved. In fact, I was able to hold the hand of my neighbor while she was waking up after her surgery. I was diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis in December. Because it’s such a rear disease and not much is known about it, it is very scary. Your videos are really helping me cope. Thank you so much.

[@shellylinnn]

For you Vicki, hope you know that there's some goodness in healing that went back to you for doing the good deed of holding your neighbor's hand to help her. I heard this recently how it's got quite some significance on your end. 💖✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@mallardtheduck406]

I had a Colonoscopy and upper endoscopy, I was put under General Anesthesia today. The funny part was my Anesthesiologist looked just like Howey Mandell...He was a Great Anesthesiologist, the first person who came to mind, was You....Dr. Kaveh. I Am Thankful to God there are Dr'.s like you!!! I went in and came out of Anesthesia with complete Attitude of Gratitude. When you are disabled and Vulnerable, being Thankful is part of that. My Procedure was in Ohio today. Everyone , no matter Baby Boomer or Millenial...I am a Gen-Xer, tough as nails, in the '80's it wasn't a good day unless you were soaked in sweat from riding your Huffy bike and comparing road rashes and injuries...one thing is for sure, You are born into this world having your diapers changed and will most likely have your diaper changed.. I know, I am humble enough I had to have that done for me, after being groggy from coming out of Anesthesia. Treat people with kindness, and live with humility. That is what I have learned after being a 2 time 36 year cancer survivor, since 1989. Thank You and God Bless You All.

[@williamwallace3780]

I had a procedure a while back where they sedate you. Sitting in a gown in the waiting room I could hear a guy somewhere else talking overly loud and happy. I realized after a little while that was the recovery room and he was high. After the procedure I came to in a chair and a nurse asked me if I was ready to have something to eat yet. She said something to me and I didn't know what it meant. I remembered just enough to realize I must have been that loud guy a couple of minutes previously too. Pretty sure I'd be embarrassed if I remembered more - even though I know they see people tripping and saying dumb stuff all day.

I am 69. I am one of the most curious people I know. I am hoping they will remove my thyroid. I would love to see a video of it. It would be fascinating! I was an Administrative Assistant in a hospice house. I must have driven my nurses crazy asking them curious questions about conditions, treatments, medications, etc. I had no practical use for the information, but I just have a zeal for learning combined with an insatiable curiosity.

I'm so sorry you had that experience with ketamine, but I'm also so happy that you have come out on the other side now with more understanding

[@Indy__isnt_it]

I also turned to Dr Kavah for ketamine assistance. With a schedule of 12 treatments, now weaning down over the next 2 weeks. I was told I would talk with a NP not understanding it would be after the last treatment for this session. I had NO ONE to discuss what was or had transpired during the actual treatment, I was perfectly content with sounds waves and a lit sky on the ceiling. Going home, not quite sure what to do I slept most days after treatments. The lack of talking to anyone except the one administering the medication and 3 blood pressures, there was no talk other than a paper with a number scale for your mood between treatments. No discussion, just fill in the blanks. While I lived the ketamine, the process was a little inhuman, lacking any insight these patients likely have questions and would like answers from the licenced therapy practitioner, not the nurse.

Thank you so much for your informative videos! I hope you do one on patients with Dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease. When making decisions about surgery, it would be good to understand what risk is for putting elder's under anesthesia when they have already been struggling with dementia for years. My mom had hip surgery and did not wake up out of it for a week. She had a post-op stroke soon after the surgery and doctors disagreed on it being the anesthesia or the stroke. Another doctor suggested her anesthesia should have been adjusted for blood pressure and that's the issue. Still have cardiologists suggesting another optional procedure that requires anesthesia. It's so controversial about whether anesthesia decreases cognitive function in people experiencing severe dementia already. If you could share your insight it would be very appreciated and helpful.

For all of you about to undergo a colonoscopy please please have all the solution, yep I know it’s horrible have it all. It makes your bowel super clean for the scope and your Doctor won’t miss a thing. I had a Polyp that decided to make itself so comfortable in my bowel that even a specialist couldn’t move it, so I had to have a Right Hemicolectomy, that’s the removal of the right side of my bowel. Who knows how long it was there for as I hadn’t been having all the solution, sometimes Doctors won’t tell you if he had a good clear view of your bowel. So take as long as you have to to get it down and don’t let yourself get dehydrated or you’ll fin yourselves in the ER. That Polyp was as lazy as I am just lying there doing nothing, yes it could have been worse but luck for me it wasn’t. Good luck and not like me don’t throw the solution out ok.👋🏻👍

Please, doctor I loveyour Channel... but GenX (despite being a smaller group) is unique. Please learn about us and stop making assumptions about us. We, the least-parented group that grew up during early innovations... and unique economic situations and a special period of time in history. I encourage you, dear doctor, to do a deep dive of research into gen x (not y) and keep an open mind while giving us your thoughtful, nuanced, researched ideas. By shoving us into the wrong generation... (this happens a lot to gen x)perhaps some of us feel misunderstood in ways that you may not be able to identify without this deeper understanding of our history.

[@user-so4vq1gq6y]

It went well! Mom took me off my painkillers the second day after surgery because I was not having enough pain! I don’t realize that one of my medication was something that I was allergic and it was on my list of what I was allergic to? But the hospital doesn’t give you s wrist band with your allergy to medication like they put on s wrist band with your name and Birthday! They need to do that for what you are allergic to because with what they gave me was Gabapentin which I am highly allergic to that my throat started to closey! But they expect they to look it up on the computer but that is kind of hard when the Dr . Is doing the surgery! I am just gald that I am doing better?

Great live stream! I learned so much! You always inspire me! I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy! I really wanted to be a anesthesiologist physician! Did you need to hock a loogies? Sounded like it 😂! You rock man

[@MedicalSecrets]

I recently asked a patient to launch loogies and it saved their life! The medical term is "mucous plug"

Also Dr. With Ibuprofen’s after surgery having been prescribed this medication (rotator cuff surgery) I took them for four days, and my kidneys started to shut down.

Hi, just wanted to share that anxiety can absolutely be in the present. The majority of mine is. Thank you for all you do. Nancy

[@dianebrymer9530]

Dr. Kaven, I just found you. I must say I don't believe it's a coincidence. I'm having my 11th spine surgery (just in the last 5 years). I've had anesthesia much more than 11 times. I would love to ask you a question. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday the 25th. Just two days away. Listening to you has given me so much more knowledge. Thank you Doc

[@anniep6248]

@shewitt7603 You can call your state Department of Health and Human Services and file a complaint against thr nursing home. You report that they aren't managing his pain and in fact withholding his medication. Report any neglect/abuse you believe is happening. Theres a very high chance that the investigator wont know the local people involved in his care. You can also threaten to call the local news station. Im so sorry you're going through this. I hope your son gets the care he needs. 🙏🏼❤️

[@susangrimes1587]

Nursing homes are regulated by the State Health Dept. I had a friend (RN) who did inspections. Call the state first, then the news Station!

GEN X says… we exist. 1965-1980. Take notes doc.

[@MedicalSecrets]

For sure, you definitely exist! However, I don't find the differences in Gen x around surgery to be as dramatic as between Boomers versus millennials, for example

[@Alwayslearnimg]

@@MedicalSecrets ok, I can understand that. Just be careful not to lump us in with either the boomers or the millennials because we are not going to fit in either of those boxes. As a matter of fact, one of the things that has been noticed about Gen X is that we really are the most diverse of groups (if you don’t count the youngest, who are still not grown lol. ) Also, I am so happy to have gotten a comment from you. I may be a little bit older than you, but I I’m a woman who thinks you are incredibly handsome - Although I love to watch your videos because I’ve learned so much. Rock on dude .

[@stephenr115]

You need to present at seminars teaching doctors how to be better. They should look to “the old” doctors who practiced different than today.

[@Rohvannyn]

I appreciate what you are doing here. Gentle reminder: Between the Boomers and the Millennials is Generation X. We are frequently forgotten for some reason. G9d info, even so!

[@AngelEyael]

Your so funny, A GREAT teacher 👏

[@lisamagibiller1664]

Apologies if you've answered this elsewhere...I've asked a few times and perhaps just missed your response. As an anesthesiologist, what is your stance on pelvic exams that are perfromed without patient consent while the patient is under anesthesia? Thanks for your response...this is a really important issue!

Born 1962 and consider myself in between boomers and gen z. To young around boomers, to old around gen z. Spent most my days in books my best friends growing up. I still don’t fit anywhere, used to hurt my feelings now I’m grateful to be different and weird.

I think you mean gen X, gen Z is 1997 onwards

I have learned much in the process of living. Awareness, education, and gratitude may not ; often will not change circumstances we must each deal with. Yet at the same time, I agree that mindset can significantly change and improve our perceptions about current circumstances. Thank you also for explaining the two perspectives of curiosity.

[@lauracochran3213]

Gen X here to say..... hello... I know I am surrounded by loud and powerful voices who get more attention from everyone. Guess, i will have to figure this out on my own too. Thx for watching over us while we sleep.

[@shelleythompson-brock6412]

Well, I missed another one. Doctor, I have a question: When we come out of anesthesia with a massive headache, is that normal, or an allergic reaction, or something?

[@marktisdale8058]

I guess, from an internet search, that I am a Boomer (1959). I usually am chatty and pleasant before and after surgery. After the under-treatment of my considerable pain in my last surgery, I hope that is still true.

[@anitaevans5361]

I’m having back surgery next week. What do you think is what kind of pain meds will I be offered. During the four months prior I have not been given anything and I am in a lot of pain. 9 at least. It’s L3 herniated into the spinal column pinch nerves. Never pain is awful. I’m on blood thinners.

When is your next stream? I’m subscribed but I haven’t received any noticed

[@sherryroberts1821]

Just curious as a boomer and a retired (disabled) nurse, how nurses react with anesthesia?? I personally having had some very bad experiences with surgery am terrified to get anesthesia. Kind of like you know too much, but not enough. I 100% prefer to be awake for any procedure and I’m definitely one who likes to ask questions and wants to watch. I have fibromyalgia as well as several other autoimmune diseases and the fibromyalgia has kicked my butt with new allergic reactions, crazy side effects, sleep issues, depression, PTSD, etc. Not waking up is a concern I have or strokes or heart attacks also a concern. But yet I’ve had several RFA’s on my lower back and my both knees, I asked for pictures and my doctor gave them to me. I’m a big researcher when it comes to my health. I think that’s the nurse in me?? I wish all of a persons health providers (PCP, pain management doctor, psychiatrist, cardiologist, etc. Your medical team ) could meet and discuss the patient’s overall health like we did in hospice so that everyone is on the same page. Love your videos, very informative!

I’m a late boomer facing probable TKR, I’m scared. Thank you for this, imma try to curb the fear and boost my curiousity

I'm a baby boomer. I did a lot of reading and watched videos, before my procedure, so I did have any more anxiety, about it. I had Radio frequency ablation for lower back pain. It went well.

[@Indy__isnt_it]

Should you inform an anesthesiologist you have rcv'd ketamine treatments or once it's out of your system, it makes no difference?

[@gentlebreeze5]

I would not be happy with an anesthesiologist that makes snide remarks about Boomers/age. Those comments are not comical or professional in my opinion.

[@susangrimes1587]

Boomer here & missed this live AGAIN! But, watch it a humpteen million times anyways! 😊❤
