combative??? What did they mean?

So, what's happening, Vicky? They were going to do it under a general anaesthetic in the dentist's surgery but now they wish it done in a hospital?

We had a similar problem here and my son needed a general because he had so many tics. They ended up doing it in day surgery but that was private and yes it was expensive. He had a bad reaction to the anaesthetic and a pain killer he was given too, so in the end I was really glad we had the procedure done where we did. These days he can see the dentist fine without his tics interfering thankfully.

How come they can't just give him a mild sedation to see him through the procedure? Is that because of his tics?
