Got the IV in preop hold and anesthesia did what appears to me to be either a femoral block or an anterior sciatic block. Anyway, after a bit, I was sitting there in tears because only the lateral half of my leg was numb. She called the anesthesiologist over and she said she would "give me something to fix it." Then, the gave me a wallop of Versed, cause the lights went out. However, my PMR states that while they gave me enough anesthesia, they failed to give me adequate analgesia. Thus, I was asleep for the surgery but my nervous system felt the whole thing due to no pain control. Just taking a poll-
-anyone ever heard of this happening?
-anyone have this happen to them?
-does this sound rational?
