Is Regional Anesthesia Right for You?

In this episode of the Black Doctors Podcast, Dr. Steven Bradley, an anesthesiologist and critical care physician, discusses regional anesthesia. He explains its different types: spinal, epidural, and peripheral nerve blocks, and provides a detailed overview of how they work, the situations they're used in, and the benefits and risks involved. Dr. Bradley also addresses common patient questions about being awake during surgery, the duration of numbness, safety concerns, and post-operative recovery. The discussion aims to reduce pre-surgical anxiety and empower patients with information to improve their medical experiences. Additionally, Dr. Bradley highlights his podcast's monthly thematic structure and introduces his ambient music projects designed for relaxation and mindfulness.
