A member asked:

General anesthesia in hospital to have a back molar pulled. is it safe? how long will i be out? i have hypothyroidism. copd anxiety.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very safe: You'll be out as long as the procedure takes, but you probably won't remember that day. General anesthesia in a hospital with an anesthesiologist (anesthetist) has never been safer.
