A member asked:
I'm freaking out over general anaesthesia if they operate me for a broken ankle, will i still be able to feel it?

You'll be out...: The benefit of having general anesthesia for the patient is for comfort so you do not feel the procedure. You will be "asleep" and won't remember what's going on. The general anesthesia is important for the surgeon to avoid any movement during the procedure to allow him/her to reset your ankle properly with out any twitching/reflex.
