Did you know WE have options when it comes to anesthesia and pain management? - Black Health TV

Did you know WE have options when it comes to anesthesia and pain management? 🛑💊 Dr. Shafonya Turner reminds us that it’s okay — and smart — to ask, “How asleep will I be? Can we avoid heavy narcotics like fentanyl or oxycodone?” 💬

✨ Narcotics often come with side effects like nausea, itching, constipation, and sleepiness. WE deserve to know about safer alternatives like nerve blocks and lighter sedation. 💉

It’s time WE stop settling for the default and start having real conversations about what’s safest for our bodies.

💬 Have you ever asked your anesthesiologist about options? Let’s hear it! 👇🏽
