surgery is there a way to make that work?

[amnotreal]

I am having robotic surgery in early january to fix prolapsed stuff with my colon. he wont be re sectioning my colon or cutting it at all but moving it and using scar tossue to hold it in place. is there any way to increase odds that i somehow don't survive? would they be too equipped to handle it if like i took aspirin or some blood thinner first? would like worst case scenario mean a blood transfusion?

if i could die in surgery then it would be so much better for my kids and family and the remily i no longer speak to and am angry at for them if i died having surgery for something they made worse and in some cases caused seems i dunno. if they felt even the slightest hint of guilt i might think they where like there would be hope for humanity i suppose.

but is tjat possible? what would i need to do in advance to die during surgery?

I don't think that's a good idea, you're putting the doctors job in danger. I understand that you want to make it easier for your family but this is not the way. Plus if they would end up giving you a blood transfusion then you're gonna be wasting blood that someone who wants to actually live could need.

Literally just ask the doctor all the ways it could go wrong. Ask him all the things you should avoid. Then do them.

if i had surgery i would maybe just take all of the pain pills at once with some other shit. that said, i hope that you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Not always, surgery is risky business. Negligence is what puts the doctor's job at stake. Even following all the proper procedures, there still remains a percentage of failure. And a good bit of the blood donated is thrown out anyways, but at least we know we have an unlimited supply of it.

The irony is a bit much

I worked in OR for seven years. Very few people die IN surgery. There is an entire team there to prevent that. Chances are you will be typed and crossed beforehand so blood will be available to transfuse very quickly. You will already be intubated, the drugs for a code are in the anesthesiologists hands. And if you take something to prevent clotting, it will be obvious as soon as that first tiny incision is made and as soon as you receive the transfusion, clotting will resume.

It is easy to save somebody from bleeding to death under those circumstances. Of course, their brain may be damaged from lack of oxygen but your heart, cardiovascular system, lungs, kidneys, etc., are pretty tough and may easily continue to function. It's then called a "persistent vegetative state".

I try my hardest to provide the best comic relief I can. This abysmal world is very dark grey.

On the other hand @NeverGoodEnuff might be your person for the medical advice.

Yes, I think the tabulation is somewhere in the 100s.

OMG! No way! Especially the heart stuff. Never was good at that. ECG's are just squiggly lines to me.

I can't tell if you are joking or am I saying too much? I hope it doesn't come across as a know-it-all? I just speak from my own experiences.
But I have seen too much.

I am sorry if I have offended anyone!

for some doctors I would worry for them and not do it but this particular doctor I feel can handle it just fine and it could even help him become a better person and better doctor and treat people better. for the surgeon i had previously i would stay alive for him.

I also worked in the OR a long time as a scrub tech/first assist. Every bit of this is right. OR peeps don't mess around. You can look at it like you have 2 teams working on you: the surgeons working on the lower side of the drape, and the anesthesiologist up top. Your life isn't so much in the surgeon's hands as it is the anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist stay in close communication with the surgeon regarding the condition of the patient, and the anesthesiologist has everything they need within an arm's reach to treat nearly any conceivable emergency.

Trying to CTB in an OR would be like calling 911 then drinking SN as the ambulance is pulling up.

i am getting better idea of what would happen to my kids if i died and they just had their dad and not me so i guess i got to stick around for them. my husband is so afraid of getting any sort of help for himself and he would just fall apart and let everything else go.
