Hello! I'm working on a story for Medscape's global English-speaking audience, geared toward health professionals, about "accidental awareness", or waking up with anesthesia during surgery. If you are in the UK or Europe, have had this experience as a patient, and would like to share your experience to help healthcare professionals as they help other patients, please answer the following questions: 1. Please provide your name, city/country, age, occupation, phone number, and email address. 2. Could you provide a description of the circumstances when you awoke during surgery? 3. What was the experience like? What do you feel, see, or hear? 4. How did the surgical team react and assist you? 5. Did you receive any kind of psychological debriefing or help so you could deal with what happened? 6. How did you feel in the aftermath of this experience? 7. What advice would you give healthcare professionals so they can best help any patients who experience what you did? Thank you so much for being so generous and helping others!

Physicians on Being Employed vs. Self Employed

Seeking U.S.-based experts in pulmonology to comment on innovations in COPD and asthma care I am working on a Medscape article about new approaches to managing COPD and asthma that go beyond standard inhaler therapy. I am seeking U.S.-based pulmonologists, researchers, or physicians with experience in pulmonary medicine to share insights on emerging strategies in clinical practice and research. Questions: What innovations in COPD and asthma care are you seeing beyond pharmacotherapy (e.g., breathing techniques, pulmonary rehab, personalized approaches)? Are you using or researching personalized oxygen protocols? If so, how do they compare with standard oxygen therapy? What role do biologic or precision-medicine therapies play in COPD and asthma management today? What barriers exist in implementing these newer approaches (cost, access, adherence)? How can primary care providers best incorporate or refer for these innovations? Looking ahead, what developments are most promising for improving COPD and asthma outcomes over the next 5 years? Consent Note: By responding, you consent to being quoted in a Medscape article with attribution. Quotes may be lightly edited for clarity, style, and flow. Please disclose any potential conflicts of interest (such as financial relationships with relevant companies or organizations).
