I had a patient yesterday who insisted the anesthesia was a teleportation device. The moment they started waking up, they asked where their ‘airplane’ was. It’s amazing how the mind works under anesthesia! Anyone else have patients who come up with wild stories post-op?
I had a similar experience where a patient thought they were in a spy movie. It’s wild to see how their imagination takes flight under anesthesia! Just a reminder that keeping a sense of humor helps us handle these unique moments better. Anyone else had a patient hallucinate an entire plot?
But i’ve found that flotation solutions can feel like a recipe — getting the ingredients just right can make all the difference! I’m curious, @meganS78, have you had any huge wins with specific methods?
I’ve had a patient wake up convinced they were on stage at a concert! It really shows how anesthesia can turn an ordinary moment into a wild adventure… @kpatel2023, do you think we should start a support group for anesthesiologists dealing with these creative post-op stories?
