My daughter had wisdom tooth removal surgery and I told the office “she currently has brown hair but she’s a natural redhead” and they said “that’s very good information to know actually!”

As a redhead, I’m so glad the medical field is finally coming around to this.

As a redhead, it makes me so happy that doctors are finally recognizing our need for more anesthesia. 🥰

it happens to a lot of us who have mothers or grandmothers who are redheaded, as well. I'm blonde and I am effected by the MC1R gene.

I am a natural red head. I have a very high tolerance for pain and need 6-8 shots of novicaine for dental.work.

My anesthesiologist told me I make his job difficult but that he was up to the challenge. He came back after the surgery and said he had to double up everything and then I almost woke up during surgery anyway.

When my brother went in for knee surgery they told him to count backwards from 100. When he got to 19 they started to worry

Lemur S. :
Yes this is so accurate. My dentist didn’t believe me when I needed so much more injections to not feel pain. I guess I should have told him that I’m naturally a red head

as a redhead thank you because I'm not sure if most anesthesiologist ignore the fact that I'm a redhead or they just simply don't know but thank you

The absolute relief I felt when I told my anesthesiologist that I’m a natural redhead and he responded, “oh, you’ll need a lot… I got you.” And he did 🥹🥹🥹🥹

My bff is a redhead and she made to age 50 without ever needing anesthesia. She’s already gone gray/white so I told her if she ever needs anesthesia in the future she has to tell them she’s a natural redhead.

100% accurate. Was in labor and the nurse kept asking if I was ok because my contractions were topping out and I said what are you talking about.

Omg. As a redheaded patient that routinely wakes during procedures/surgeries (I’ve had more than a dozen) — THANK YOU. It’s about high time providers started listening!!!

I take much more to numb at the dentist. my anesthesiologist during my epidural was also shocked. I ALWAYS advocate for myself.
