      Hmm. Good Question. I get so nervous during their surgeries.

      The patients are already taking a risk when going for surgery with general anaesthesia and the least I can do is pray they wake up to a healthy state, Even if patients wake up after a successful surgery, sometimes there are complications like paralysis. But I have been so lucky to have all my recruited patients wake up though with side effects like headaches, backaches, vomiting, pain at the surgical site, because of the anaesthesia or surgery, My research aim is to wipe out this side effects by introducing a new effective drug to the market.
