Hello GasPassers 🙂
I had a pretty gnarly accident about a month ago... I had a major orthopedic reconstruction on one of my lower limbs.
My anesthesiologist was amazing. Really nice guy. Put me at ease. But it's clearly worse when you're on the other side of it.
For a couple weeks I felt foggy after the anesthetic. Not really a problem. It resolved. Although, I have some minor memory problems when I study now. I never had a problem before. I just find myself re-reading stuff more than I used to.
One of my classmates also recently injured himself. Same anesthesiologist. Same set of drugs as far as we know. He has been having lingering cognitive deficits. I'm not just talking some residual fogginess... but I mean straight up problems with learning. Can't retain anything. No periods of desat or apnea on the chart.
What gives? Any thoughts? Seen this before? Will it resolve?
I feel bad cuz we essentially had the same procedure almost and the same anesthesia and I seem to be doing a lot better. Any input would be much appreciated.
