my post-surgical fear is so bad that it can cause me to spike a fever which has canceled surgery in 2009. how to avoid? . i had a tka (knee) in 2009. the anesthesiologist made the whole experience anxiety free from his demeanor to the medication he gave me pre-op. in 2013 i had a hysterectomy scheduled but the manner in which pre-op was carried out made pre-surgery anxiety so bad it caused me to spike a fever of 101 which canceled the surgery. the anesthesiologist and numerous nurses in the room sent me over the top with anxiety. how can i control this so i can get through my surgery?
