Curious to know how much the moon position affects weight. Reference anyone??

So how does the original George keep them straight when they’re in the same room and he needs to talk to one in particular? (What’s the science behind redheads requiring more anesthesia?)

So George really loved his name or honestly couldn’t think of any alternatives? Sad in many ways. Son number five is George number six.

Really? Why do they require more anesthesia?

I beg to differ. My older sister is a redhead and she’s always been anesthesia sensitive. She requires far less.

Ah the curse of being a ginger.

And his daughter’s name is Georgetta lol

And you don’t want to be around when she wakes up!

I already knew about George Forman & his sons. Guess he got hit in the head too many times & George was the only name he could remember!!

Hi my name’s George and this my brother George and my other brother George and……………….never mind! ;o}

Well, I hope when the anesthesiologist is getting ready to medicate a redhead, I hope they ask first if they’re a natural redhead or if it comes out of a bottle. I’m guessing they mean NATURAL redheads need more.

Sure makes it easier to call them to eat: George! It’s supper time!

“I am not a number! I am a… George. (sigh) OK, give me a number…”

All people need different amounts of anesthetic to get the same effect. The variation is huge, but normally not precisely adressed. There are some basic rules they follow, as age, sex, and weight. And statistically, one knows, that the average amount needed by redheads is considerably higher than the amount needed by blondes. Which doesn’t tell you who will need more anesthetic if you have two individuals, as it could be, the dark-haired person could need more than the redhead for the same effect. BTW, its not correct to say that one needs more anesthesia (which is the process), but more anesthetic (which is the substance).

redheads require more anesthesia for what…?

Some fires are not as easily stifled, fortunately.

I am a redhead and awoke during surgery and cussed the doctor out. He gave me more anesthesia. It also takes four times the amount of Novocain for me for dental procedures…or I bite.
