Guest guest Posted September 21, 2001 Report Share Posted September 21, 2001 In response to how you are positioned and feet hurting from standing -- HOW can this be? How can you " stand " up if you are unconscious? Certainly they don't let you stand there on your own, with your weight on them!! How does this work??? Attached: , I was at one of Dr. E's support meetings where he told us about the table that is used for surgery. You are on your back (in la la land!!) and it is tilted with your head up first, I think he said 45 degree angle..while he works his magic on your stomach...then the table is tilted so your feet are up, so he can work on your intestines. Dr. E said sometimes people have told him that thier feet hurt after surgery, from standing during the surgery. By tilting the table, it moves the other organs up or down..out of the way. I hope I have explained that so you understand. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
