Abstract
The first author, a patient who underwent elective caesarean section and felt pain necessitating conversion to general anaesthesia, describes the experience with particular reference to the perceived poor communication between her and her anaesthetist. This extended from the preoperative visit to the information provided to her general practitioner after discharge. She makes several suggestions which would have made her experience, and those of other patients in similar circumstances, less traumatic. The second author, who had no involvement in events and works in a different Trust, comments upon the events from the perspective of an obstetric anaesthetist.
