Not To Be Trusted With Knives: Allergic

    That just reminded me of an unusual reaction I had to the anesthetic when I had my wisdom teeth out years ago.


    Hours after the surgery I couldn't actually urinate. I needed to, but something was not working. It got seriously uncomfortable until my girlfriend procured for me the appropriate narcotic counter-measure.

    I think that's a common concern with anesthetic. I remember when I got my tonsils out, I was told that they don't let you leave the hospital until you've urinated, because sometimes anesthetic can screw with your kidneys, so you have to prove you can urinate before they know it's safe for you to leave. Scary stuff!
