MUST tell your doctor if you have this!

malignant hyperthermia is the most lethal and preventable condition to have complications from in surgery while you're under anesthesia! anyone with a blood relative with malignant hyperthermia needs to either be tested or have anesthesia with very special precautions!

So true and great info! It takes special people to be a anesthesiologist, and you’re a special person, I’m a special person to, I really tried to go to college to be a anesthesiologist after I graduated high school in 08 but it was gonna be too hard because of my cerebral palsy, so I enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy!

I've got a question for you. I don't know how to message you. my wife's kidneys tank every time she has surgery with the magic milk. I know the name of it but being funny. she has lung surgery coming up what do I need to tell the anesthesiologist? they got down to 18 last time. thanks so much you are awesome

What happens if we don’t know we have this condition, because it’s first time being put under?

Would that be the same as an atypical
co enzyme. Mi mother in the late 70’s some of her sisters had issues waking up after surgery. My son had the same issue when he went through surgery at 9 months old. I never had a surgery until 2015 and it happened to me too. I discovered last year that they applied
Narcan to me during that surgery to literally bring me back and I was never told. I’m scared to death to have any surgery now. I get Colonoscopy done and I am even scared. What can be done with anesthesia then?
