Is fear of general anesthesia stopping you from having the procedure you've longed for?
Anesthesia shouldn’t be the thing that stops you from getting the surgery you want. In this “save-and-replay” episode, Dr. Rady Rahban and his longtime head Board Certified anesthesiologist, Dr. Houston, answer your most common anesthesia questions—straight from your DMs.
They break down the full hierarchy of anesthesia (local, conscious sedation, “twilight,” general), explain why “twilight is safer” is often a myth, and walk through what actually makes anesthesia safe: the right patient screening, the right monitoring, the right facility, and—most importantly—the right provider.You’ll also get practical, patient-first answers to the questions everyone worries about:
- Can you wake up during surgery?
- What are the real risks of general anesthesia?
- Why do some people get nauseated—and how to prevent it?
- Does sleep apnea matter?
- What about GLP-1s like Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro?
- Should you ask if your anesthesia provider is board-certified—and is that “offensive”?
If anesthesia fear has been your biggest obstacle, this episode is your calm, clear, myth-busting guide to feeling informed, empowered, and safe.
