As a student ODP, anaesthetics can be quite confusing and in-depth. This book gives a very clear over-view without trying to cram too much information in. I found it very easy to work through and it has been extremely helpful with my course work so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Rethinking Elective Surgery after Reading This
Reviewed in the United States on 25 May 2014
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is a wonderful, fully illustrated book written in laymen's terms mostly. It is large and very easy to read. It has a laminated soft glossy cover. With the index it is 88 pages.

I've been thinking about an elective surgical procedure but scared of the anesthesia aspect of it. After reading this thourough and information book, I am wondering about not having it done. This presents the numerous things that can go wrong, as well as the various types of pain, and how to manage it. This covers all types of pain including fibromyalgia and back pain.

This has answered all my questions about anesthesia and rather than allay my fears, now that I am well informed about it, I have more dread than ever about any type of surgery. This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants a complete overview of anesthesia in both the operating room, and as pain management on a day to day basis for those with chronic pain. I feel like I know all there is to know about the subject, yet it wasn't over my head, or a chore to read. On the contrary, this was so well presented, the information so thorough and so well written, that it was actually fun to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars As a "medical consumer" (AKA patient), this is exactly the kind of information I was looking for.
Reviewed in the United States on 1 June 2014
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
After a recent inpatient surgery, I suffered excruciating pain and severe nausea and vomiting (to the point that I had to be hospitalized).

Since I had the same surgery (albeit under general anesthesia) twice, two weeks before and did not have any of these problems, once I recovered I suspected that something had changed in terms of anesthesia during the procedure and post-op drugs. Everyone at the hospital kept saying: "No, no. It's not the anesthesia." But I am super drug sensitive, something doctors neither seem to understand nor take seriously, and I knew that the only variable in all of this was the drugs (type, quantity and when administered).

After verifying what I was given in the third surgery, it was clear that it WAS the anesthesia. At that point, I wanted to educate myself on other aspects of anesthesia. This book, which is written in a way that seems to be more consumer friendly and educational than a truly medical book, really helped.

In my opinion, if you want to make a truly informed decision about surgery (or other procedures) that require anesthesia, it's worth your time for you or your patient advocate (not the hospital one but the friend or family member who serves as yours) to review the contents of this book.

You may learn more than you want to know, but...better to know than become a statistic. That's my thinking.

At the very least, you will be able to ask more pointed and relevant questions (although again, you tell doctors things and they still seem to either forget or ignore what you said...a real concern. Maybe you need to text them everything to get their attention.)
in advance of any procedure (where you have that option).

It can also help you better understand the process and, hopefully, reassure you on some levels. (Any professional medical doctor will tell you that ALL procedures and any type of anesthesia have risks. No matter how minor or major the procedure.)

I wished I'd had the opportunity of reading this before my procedures.

This book isn't for those who belong in the "I don't want to know about it" group. It's for those of us who want to educate ourselves, work better with our doctors to ensure accurate and safe procedures and better understand what is involved with the administration of anesthesia, which is a key, if not the key, componenet of a procedure.

I think this book belongs on the bookshelf in any home where an adult or child lives. Because you never know when you'll need to know this information right away!
