The volunteer study is trying to separate the effect of anesthesia from the effect of surgery. The purpose is to find the truth, and having found it, to “do good” by applying improved understanding to the care of patients. If volunteers who get only anesthesia have no sleep disturbance this implies that it might not be the anesthesia but the surgery (or some interaction of the two) that leads to sleep disturbance. This blog post was not a systematic review of the literature and there may be other studies with different findings.

How can you possibly come to any conclusions using people who went under, but didn’t have surgery? That’s comparing apples to oranges. You did more harm than good. I only pray doctors are smarter than this. I mean, were you amazed that these people were in no pain also???!!!!! What a complete joke. If you want to do a real study follow up with those that went under the knife….. Sheesh!!!!!
