Well I'm a health care professional of 20 years as well as a staff educator in the operating room. I was suffering from a spinal head ache after a milogram. After 3 days I went to the emergency room. I was on iv fluids and kept comfortable. at 3:45 am I was told anesthesia could not do the needed blood patch. Just for the heck of it I called anesthesia. I was told they were not busy, but didn't want to do the blood patch just in case something big came in. A blood patch takes all of 2 minutes. 1 star would be to high of a rating for DR Sandra Stevens of anesthesia. I would rather pass 5 kidney stones, than have a spinal head ache. A 2 minute procedure could have provided my instant relief.
