Season 4, Episode 9 - Awake for Hip Replacement Surgery, A Deep Dive with Emma Howat
In this episode we do a deep dive into the details of being awake during total hip replacement surgery. We learn about Emma's story in the lead up to the surgery, what it was like during, and the recovery after.
Local anaesthetics rather than general, are becoming more common place for a multitude of reasons, so the hope is that this deep dive will answer many of the questions you might have, and feel better about understanding the process.
I can tell you from a personal perspective, that with this most likely in my future, that I felt significantly calmer about the thought of this for myself.
Thank you Emma so much, for your time, and being so open to discuss the details with us!
