Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hey : When I go to MUSC, I always see an anesthesiologist the day before because they put me out with a MAC anesthesia. Can I ask him to put on my chart that my IV is to be started in the OR only by an anesthesiologist so that I have back up when I ask teh nurse not to start it? I am still obsessing here! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Kaye, This is the only place where the nurses actually listen to me about not being able to get my veins. After my second surgery, they couldn't get a vein for the anaesthesiologists, so they used my port to knock me out with Propofol and put an IV in my neck whilst I was under. 3rd and subsequent surgeries, the Anaesthesiologists remembered me...could be the accent..not too many of my accents around Knoxville, and they always access my port, keep me awake until the OR and then use the Propofol, then put in an IV...last surgery, they couldn't even get an IV in my neck, so they just used the port for both surgery and post op recovery..

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 " Are you talking about MUSC? I don't have a port or a PICC or any kind of a line and can't have one because of complications. All I know, is nobody is sticking me w/o numbing it up first.
