Hours of Boredom, Minutes of Terror (with Anesthesiologist Matthew Cameron)

Jonathan and Chris speak to Dr.

Matthew Cameron, a local anesthesiologist who does a lot more than local anesthesias!

They discuss the ins and outs of putting people to sleep; how safe epidurals really are; and whether or not you need to worry about waking up paralyzed in the middle of an operation (spoiler alert: no).

Also, Jonathan is told about “blood patches” for the first time and can’t believe this is a real thing. * Theme music: “Fall of the Ocean Queen“ by Joseph Hackl.
