TESTIMONIAL: The Sinus Surgery Was Easy

This patient wanted to give a testimonial for any patient who may be concerned about having an awake, in-office surgery. His message? It didn't hurt.

Dr. Skarada:

You remember talking about the day of the procedure, and he had a big sinus surgery done. I won't mention my patient's name, but he had lots of stuff done. Didn't he not?

Unkown:

Oh, yeah! A lot!

Dr. Skarada:

And the day of the procedure, we were talking about what it was like! What was that like?

Patient:

Well, I was pretty well zonked out by the time I got in here. I drove to the outskirts of Dallas, and then my wife drove the rest of the way because I had – having taken that medication on the trial, I knew what was coming to. By the time I got here, I was ready to go to sleep, basically. And, so. When I went into the room, I anticipated maybe reading until I was drowsy. I didn't need to read. I just laid back, and lights were turned off, and it was nice and cool, and I just kind of prepared myself and don't remember a thing until afterwards.

Dr. Skarada:

That is perfect. There were no IVs, correct?

Patient:

Right. No IVs.

Dr. Skarada:

Just two or three pills, right?

Patient:

Yep.

Dr. Skarada:

And what was your experience? This is his wife.

Spouse:

I had a great time.

Dr. Skarada:

Yeah?

Spouse:

I got to watch everything.

Dr. Skarada:

Yeah?

Spouse:

And it was very fascinating–

The remainder of her testimonial was cut short. I apologize. Technical difficulties.
