Det finnes en lege som har varme og omtanke for de som har gjennomlevd dette torturhelvetet som små barn, han har en blogg http://ltinnin.com/
My continuing search for telltale characteristics of adult victims of infant surgery without anesthesia suggests two that are expressed in literature and art. These adults seem to live “a life of quiet desperation” as quoted from Thoreau’s Walden
Det finnes også http://myincision.wordpress.com/2011...ut-anesthesia/ men det ser ut til at hennes blog er flyttet hit http://restoryyourlife.com/blog/, her er de nyere innleggene hennes Jeg har nettopp begynt å lese disse to, legen og pasienten, så jeg har ikke så mye å tillegge ennå

Legen skriver
Anyone now 23 years or older who had major surgery as a baby is at risk for chronic posttraumatic illness because the surgery was probably done without anesthesia, which was the custom in most hospitals prior to 1987. Abdominal surgery for pyloric stenosis and chest surgery for congenital heart problems were the most common forms of infant surgery. Together these surgeries were required for about 8 cases per 1000 births. A rough estimate of the number of survivors during the single year of 1987 (3,829,000 live births) is 30,600. We do not know what proportion of these survivors is now suffering with posttraumatic symptoms but considering the severity of the pain and the helplessness of the infant we would expect that the majority of these infants were traumatized.
Imagine what it must have been like for the infant: unable to lift a finger; unable to move away from the searing pain of the scalpel; the sensation of being turned inside-out as the heart or intestines are grasped; and the overwhelming pain. People that have survived these early traumatic experiences usually cannot recall them verbally while they cannot forget them nonverbally.
