The eyes of every tort lawyer in the country just bugged out, as if on a single command from the mother wheel.

All this time I thought it was aluminum coffee pots.

I used to know what caused it but I forgot.

Am I the only person who wonders if flouridation of the water supply has played a role in the explosion of this disease?

I have long suspected a connection. I’m avoiding surgeries at all costs...and won’t be doing anything elective.

Both of my parents died in the last several years from AD. Both had MAJOR reductions in mental ability directly following anesthesia. I noticed it at the time and mentioned it to the doctor. He dismissed my observation and said there was NO effect. My Dad fell and broke his pelvis. While he was hospitalized, my Mom died. He was fully functional before the fall. Afterward, he never even knew she died though he was told it many times.

Oh oh, looks like the guys and I from high school biology class need to check out each other and all our girlfriends from the time. We used ether on cotton balls to put fruit flies to sleep for cross-breeding. High school boys + ether. What do you think happened? OK, to our credit nobody ever went all the way under. We’d catch them before they fell and remove the cotton we were holding to their nose. Went through a LOT of ether in that class...

I thought they already knew that for a long time now. My mom’s always been very wary of elective surgeries and anesthesia for that reason.

So what’s the alternative? Bite a bullet?

Seriously, there are many reasons for post-op decline. Yes, we know that the drugs do play some part but as I said, there are MANY reasons for this phenomenon

Is this what is called “bubble head”?
