    15 years ago is 2011 but you made it sound like 1911.

    Besides all that, how would a doctor let you be dehydrated? If oral fluid is off the table, what stopped you from an intravenous one?

      How much the process has changed in the last 15 years it may as well have been 1911.

      Have you ever been put under a general anesthesia as part of an outpatient procedure?

      You are always dehydrated when that starts.

        I don’t think I’ve ever been fully anesthetic but I accompanied my relative for a stomach-scope a few years ago. It only involved emptying the stomach the day before and drinking a lot of water. I know the colon is a different organ but just wondering what is wrong with IV.
