Excuse my spelling of anaesthetists,last quote,noticed the error but had posted,typing error.

Ive had this discussion so many times with non Anaesthetists and my Dentist.I always found that being given the choice of Iv or Inhalation(Gas) I myself always chose to have the gas option.Yes I myself think that it is down to personal experience under Gas.Myself I always found this option much more pleasant than having to be injected(IV).There are many people like myself who have an extreme fear of Iv(Needles).I realise that many people have a fear of Gas as well.Surely it should be a choice made by the patient and the anaesthetist.Having had the black rubber mask several times as a child and teenager,I always found this to be the most suitable method of anaesthesia for myself.Isnt it about time Guys(Anaethetists) the patient was asked what there preference is.I would run a mile at the thought of Iv,whereas if you used the gas with the mask I would be the model(Calm,Relaxed) patient.Im 37yrs old,Male and still hate Iv.
