Question
last 8 surgeries have had difficulty waking from the anesthesiology after surgery. This consists of hrs. Dr. Carter, Directory of Anesthesia at Midland hospital is pondering that it may be a enzyme in blood causing this. I nearly died.
There is no question here but I assume you want to know what the deficiency is? You may have a Pseudocholinesterase deficiency which prevents you from getting rid of the muscle relaxant easily. This is only a guess since I can't see your medical records.
