Is Anesthesia Scary? Understanding and Alleviating Surgery Fears
Anesthesia often brings anxiety due to fears of loss of control and unknown outcomes, yet it's safer today than ever, with low complication rates thanks to advancements in technology and medical practices. Addressing concerns through open communication with healthcare professionals and understanding the process can significantly alleviate pre-surgery anxiety.
