Those of us that have undergone surgical procedures under general anesthesia have done so with the confidence of being in the care of expert anesthesiologists who ensured our comfort and safety. Some of us, however, are concerned about the possibility of becoming “awake” during the procedure and not being able to communicate with the staff. Recently, some movies have capitalized on this fear and made quite a few dollars in the process.

Are Triathlons Dangerous?
August 16, 2011
