Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Am on crystal meth for awhile now. The time is 7.48am and the last time I smoked up was about 2am. Am due for surgery in around 1.5hrs and managed to slept from 5am to 6.30am at home.
This is a minor day surgery to insert a metal implant into my hand due to the 5th metacarpal fracture on my righ hand.
I am fully aware about the negative aspect of crystal meth and gradual withdrawl are in the plans so let's skip the ethical part of this question.
My question : am lying on the hopsital bed now waiting to meet the doctor before being pushed into surgical theatre. I've been reading up profusely on. Pre-op blood test detections and surgical complications due to meth use.
Unfortunately, I am from a country with very harsh laws on drug related Offences so discussing my meth use with my doctor isn't part of my available options.
Pls advice what is my best bet right now? If it means just suddenly insisting to call off the op, I'll do just that. Urgent!
