Its under documented. People having side effects and injuries from these drugs post-surgery are just told to "deal with it." Modern medicine is quite an improvement from the past but it still involves a great deal of risk, especially when we put people fully under.




> Its under documented.

Ahh. "Trust me bro" science! No, no I don't think I will. I think I will trust the actual data.

> People having side effects and injuries from these drugs post-surgery are just told to "deal with it."

Well, generally once something has already occurred, yes, that is the reality. Just like with my damaged spinal cord. I now have to "deal with it" because you can't go backwards. Also "just deal with it" does not imply a lack of documentation that it occurred.

> but it still involves a great deal of risk

Yes, just not the level of risk claimed. In fact, not anywhere close in the modern age.

> especially when we put people fully under.

I've zero doubt. That said, I've had more generals than 99.9% of people ever will and i'm still alive and injury free so yay for modern medical science.
