Hmm...that makes sense, and I have a feeling that the surgeon will not be willing to agree to the "just wake me up if you can't do it robotically" idea. But ho boy, I really don't want to wake up to find I just had a sternotomy, especially because of what it might do to my MG.
I am reading some more about ion channelopathies, and it looks like if there's a real possibility that I have some form of periodic paralysis, anesthesia could be very dangerous for me.
