jayr Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 If you guys are watching the latest episode of Person of Interest you'd see one of the lead characters got a CI in 2 minutes without general anaesthesia! Lol The ignorance they propagate on TV! jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted March 19, 2014 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi Jay,.. ALthough I do not think that they have thought at something particularly, there are some clinical studies where CIs have been implanted under local anesthesia. Hope this trend will not become popular but during these times of cutting health-care costs - we might testify to this policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Matt Posted March 20, 2014 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Anaesthetic is overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leblisa Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 LOL! Yeah, feel the pain, baby! (I think I'll tell my surgeon at my pre-op visit that I'd like the 2-minute, no-anesthesia option this time; let's see what he says) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclay66490 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 CRAZY!!!! I can't imagine what that would be like. I had both ears done at the same time. I was in LALA Land. Quite uncomfortable after the surgery. Was black and blue all around both eyes. Wish I'd taken pictures. And of course I had the Princess Lea look going on. LOL!
