Before surgery i filled out forms and talked to Hospital personnel about what id had to eat or drink in the pc Vious eight hours. I replied each time that id had a Sandwich and half a can of pop about six hours earlier. My Anaesthesiologist asked me the same question just before the procedure and i replied the same Way. Then i asked a where can i spit out my gum a he nearly had a fit he told me that chewing gum creates secretions that can interfere with surgery. I never considered gum chewing to be a form of eating or drinking. In a sure there Are plenty of folks out there who arc As ignorant about this As i was. Doctors and nurses should be More specific when they question pre surgery patients. Please Tell them Ann. Mary Jane Frankenmuth Mich.
