Health Tips - Letter for Your Surgeon
I strongly recommend that you give the letter below to any surgeon that is about to operate on you or anyone you care about. Use this written request if any anesthesia at all is planned, including a numbing block for just one area. See The Mind Records health tip for more data.
Dear Doctor,
As it is my belief that the mind records during times of unconsciousness and that these recordings, particularly if they contain words, can have later ill effects, it is important to me to have as little talking as possible during anesthesia.
I am requesting that speaking be restricted to only what is absolutely necessary to accomplish the surgery and that there be no other unnecessary noise such as music.
Thank you for your help,

Best wishes,
