#sedative

[whumpybones]

Caretaker sedating an overtired crying whumpee, whumpee doesn't scream, and barely fights, they just sob.

Caretaker's never heard whumpee cry like that, and sits back wondering if they did the right thing

Imagine a Whumpee who has to be sedated.

Maybe they're in too much pain, or they need to undergo a medical procedure or maybe they're violent after being rescued, holding onto the "fight to survive" state of mind.

Imagine Whumpee thrashing around, pushing doctors away, putting up a fight while screaming and crying, begging to be left alone.

Imagine Caretaker grabbing their wrists or legs to keep them still and shushing them, risking to get hurt as well by Whumpee's wild behaviour.

Imagine Whumpee slowing down, struggling to keep their eyes open, and one last sob dying in their throat as they finally lose consciousness.

Caretaker can only sigh in relief.

Something about hearing you whisper “shh… it’s okay baby, don’t fight it. I got you, you’re okay. Nice and easy for me, there we go” to me as you inject a sedative into my bloodstream just makes me feel so fuzzy inside ^v^

Have you ever had surgery that required anesthesia?

Hi anonymous! I'm not sure whether you are referring to local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, but I get the feeling you might be referring to the latter, considering that all surgeries require some form of anaesthetic. I will go off this assumption, but if I got it wrong, send me another ask with the specific type of anaesthesia you intended and I'll redo the poll for you. Thanks! Keep 'em coming, folks.

Have you ever had surgery that required general anaesthesia?

Yes, once

No, but I've had surgery requiring local anaesthesia

No, I've never had any form of surgery
