Re: Surgery is st.patricks day
Tell them you are afraid, and don't look. My IV didn't hurt at all. (There is a pre op blood draw, at the preop visit). They used a tiny lidocaine injection to numb the area---also not painful---to start the IV. Then all the meds were through the IV. Be sure to drink fluids right up to the cutoff time, if you are hydrated it's easier to start the IV. Just look away and talk about something else or think about a pleasant memory. It's over quickly.
