Hi Dr Murray,
Whew! Thanks for the clarification! I'd taken one of my girls for
surgery and when she called to update me on what she found, she told
me that she'd used a newer anesthesia on Faith and I was a little
freaked out. Thanks for correcting my misspelling as well!
She said that the only problem she's experiencing with it is that
their body temp seems to drop a little more as they're coming out of
it. The cost was about $25 more than the iso, but if it is safer,
than it's worth it to me!
