For many people, going under general anesthesia is the scariest part of having surgery.
You trust that you won’t wake up unexpectedly in the middle of surgery, and that when it’s over you will wake up – without being in unbearable pain.

Although you do get to choose your plastic surgeon, you don’t get to choose who does your anesthesia and you might not even meet them before the day of surgery.

On this episode you’ll meet Sarah, the intensive care nurse turned CRNA and Dr. Houssock’s trusted partner in the operating room. With each and every patient in the operating room, Sarah and Dr. Houssock do the profoundly important dance of surgeon and anesthetist.

Find out why our complication rate is so low, what happens when patients don’t prepare themselves adequately for surgery, and the single most important factor to a smooth operation.
