#anesthesia tw

[boundfaerietales]

I had anesthesia yesterday (June 22nd) for a minor procedure, and I’m still bleh brained and my hands are shaking a lot so typing is difficult. Replies will be extra slow today and tomorrow.

Strapped to a table ❤❤

This is four years late and probably not what you expected, but here you go!

Content warnings: medical setting, anesthesia, precursor to surgery, creepy whumper

“… Alright, now put your arms out like a T for me. We need to secure you to the table for the procedure, but don’t you worry, you’ll be out like a light in just a few minutes here, okay?”

Roux, lying there in a scratchy hospital gown, opens their mouth to respond—but before they can speak, Ambrose jumps in, squeezing their non-IVed hand. “That’s right, sweetheart. Just breathe for us; you’re doing so well.”

Roux grits their teeth and barely refrains from rolling their eyes. Ambrose shouldn’t even be in the operating room, but he said something to the surgeon about them having anxiety,and that apparently gave him a free pass to tag along and hold their hand—no matter how unwanted he may be.

They have half a mind to kick him out themself. They want to, and they would—except he’s the one who wrote the check to the surgeon, and he could just as easily yoink them off the operating table and drag them back to his opulent little penthouse. Roux isn’t going to breathe a word to him until they wake up tiddy-free. Then they’ll go back to cussing out Ambrose.

A nurse fiddles with the IV line. Ambrose strokes their hair, fucking up their curls like usual. Cold anesthesia drips into their hand, and a plastic, beachball-smelling mask descends over their face. “Okay,” says the nurse, “take some deep breaths for us, hon.”

Roux inhales deeply. This’ll be over soon, they think to themself, exhaling. Four to six week recovery … Inhale. And then I’ll have one less reason to hang around Ambrose. Exhale.

Roux feels like he’s sinking right through the table. The fluorescent lights above are getting farther and farther away. The nurses chatting with Ambrose about what a good boyfriend he is (Ambrose doesn’t correct them) sound fuzzier and fuzzier. Roux is going under. There’s nothing more standing between him and top surgery.

This is exciting. He should be excited.

But his darkening vision can orbit only around Ambrose, his smile bright and constant beneath lights of the operating room.

I wanna thank everyone for their very nice and thoughtful messages ; u ; I appreciate you all so much and you made me feel very loved in this hard time. I had a medical procedure done today that had me under anesthesia for the first time, and I was scared but I'm ok now even if I'm really tired 💖💖

The queue will probably still be off and I'll still be scarce for at least one more day but you guys are so beautiful and I love every one of you!

I’m about to go under anesthesia and I swear to god if I wake up in a Saw trap I’m going to lose my shit

So I think I know where my love for medical whump originated

Series of Unfortunate Events has 2 episodes(aka 1 book, but I want to focus on the Netflix series here) where they're in a hospital(Hostile Hospital) Spoilers and mentions of kidnapping and anesthesia ahead

I mainly want to focus on Season 2 Episode 8, which is the second part of the story, where Count Olaf kidnaps and drugs Violet with anesthesia and tries to preform a craniectomy before Klaus stops him.

That was literally my favorite episode when it came out so now I know why I love medical and kidnap whump I guess

Medical research

I mentioned earlier that I had made a document with a bunch of links about medical procedures and tools and all that good stuff, so here it is! This is all just info I've dug up with a bit of googling, so bear that in mind, but yeah. I hope this is helpful for anyone writing medical or lab whump! And I apologise if it's a little all over the place, I'll try to fix it up soon. Happy writing!

A hero having to do surgery on her nemesis, with or without anesthesia, and him waking up delirious and groggy.

if it’s without anesthesia, isn’t that just vivisection?

Villain remembers Hero’s face being the last thing he saw before he passed out, strapped to an exam table (because he kept thrashing trying to free himself and would have ended up injuring himself further) and thinking that Hero was doing this for revenge after everything Villain had done

Hero was perhaps a little too callous when Villain was brought in, since this wasn’t exactly her decision, but she still had to treat him no matter who he was or what he’d done. She was going to do her job properly, but she wasn’t going to be happy about it, and this animosity gave Villain the wrong impression and scared him terribly with leaving himself at her mercy

Villain wakes up delirious and groggy afterwards, crying and pleading with Hero not to hurt him, and then also just from the pain and fear and exhaustion. Hero realizes how much her attitude and the whole situation had really affected Villain and does her best to (awkwardly) comfort him

tldr; Hero who hates Villain but still treats him because that’s her job, Villain thinks she’s gonna hurt him and is consumed with fear, Hero realizes how much her attitude has actually affected him

Actual Interaction I Had

Surgeon right before anesthesia is administered: So, how are you feeling about this?

Me: Ah... pretty nervous.

Surgeon: Haha yeah, me too.
