So much "high risk" in this thread, yet its used all over the place in United States and not a single shred of evidence to be found anywhere here...


I did some googling; here's some studies on death rate due to anasthesia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2697561/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3147285/ ; the latter does highlight that the incident rate has dropped a lot since the 1940's. Another one on "anesthetic awareness", or waking up during the procedure / recalling things without being able to respond, which happens 1-2 times out of 1000: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900098

"Not a single shred of evidence to be found" -> "I didn't actually look but like telling people they're wrong lol"


Its not my responsibility to look for evidence if you're making the claim.

If you want to come into a thread telling people that are already apprehensive about a procedure "please don't do X its dangerous!" when an _actual_ first google will give you a Mayo Clinic saying its perfectly fine, then you need to provide some fucking evidence.

Your evidence is unconvincing, but good job being condescending.
