Oh Dear!
I expect it's because the anaesthetists have a mximum number of hours. My friend's daughter was prepped for theatre to have a stent fitted, when the samething happened to her.
My husband has had about 8/10 laser treatments and there was never an anaesthetist there.
What kind of treatment were you due to have?
