Hours of Boredom, Minutes of Terror (with Anesthesiologist Matthew Cameron)
Manage episode 419435181 series 2309520
Jonathan and Chris speak to Dr. Matthew Cameron, a local anesthesiologist who does a lot more than local anesthesias! They discuss the ins and outs of putting people to sleep; how safe epidurals really are; and whether or not you need to worry about waking up paralyzed in the middle of an operation (spoiler alert: no). Also, Jonathan is told about “blood patches” for the first time and can’t believe this is a real thing.
* Theme music: “Fall of the Ocean Queen“ by Joseph Hackl.
