Passed Out Today
What a day! I was in theatre with the vet doing a cruciate ligament repair on a dog. I've scrubbed in to these loads of times, and felt absolutely fine. I wasn't hot, I wasn't feeling sick or anything. Was having a conversation with the vet, and within about two seconds I broke out in a sweat and my vision went blurry, and then I just passed out

luckily the anaesthetist caught me and dragged me out of the theatre

when I came to I had no clue what was going on!
After a drink of water and a bar of chocolate I was absolutely fine again, I'm wondering if maybe my blood sugar dropped

I have passed out once before and that was to do with my blood pressure being too low but that was an hour after my car crash and most likely due to delayed shock - one of the most scary experiences of my life!
