Why are people continuing to gloss over this part though, you can’t just “get a job” in another country like it’s nothing? If they can hire a German over an American whose citizenship they have to sponsor and who may not even already live there, they’re going to. You’re fighting an uphill battle.

Do you have an editor? I’d highly recommend one to smooth it out.

My phobia was diagnosed as a form of PTSD because it was based on childhood hospitalizations (that I don’t personally consider to be particularly traumatic), so it’s a rational fear rather than an irrational one.

Would this be effective for phobias resulting from trauma?

I am severely emetophobic and struggling with future surgeries. I had my last surgery with propofol and was totally fine. But my prior surgeries with different anesthetics resulted in vomiting.

I read studies saying propofol causes less nausea. Why couldn’t I have that for all my general anesthesia?

Also, could I request stronger antiemetics? I was given a zofran and scopolamine patch behind my ear last time, but not sure if that’s sufficient for non-propofol procedure.

Interesting, I’d have thought a firing squad would garner more support than the electric chair. Seems… quicker? Slightly more humane?
