Specifically anesthesia,

Do gingers have some form of resistance to this?

 

Just for clarification is the medical issue in question a serious one?

 

My guess is the answer to that will depend on whether you'd describe the OP's aneasthetizing of (the very ginger) Mrs Urban as part of their adult playtime routine as a "serious medical issue". Just to be clear, I'm not judging anyone here, what goes on in the privacy of one's own home is one's own business, so long as it's done safely and more or less in accordance with the law of the land

 

LOL - only on scoobynet!!!

I believe the answer to be yes (no medical qualifications) - gingers have a gene which makes them more susceptible to pain, this has some effect on receptors in their brain. Maybe higher doses of anaesthetic is needed to achieve the same level of sedation as a non-ginger.

I have a ginger friend who claims to be more resistant to the effects of alcohol as a result of his mutant genes, although he only made this claim after hearing the above on the one show!!! I've often wanted to knock him out without use of anaesthetic.

 

I have a phd in Gingervitis and can say without hesitation that the answer is Yes or No.

I hope this helps

Also makes them much more susceptible to blue waffle disease when there being put under, prob go wanna look it up on google and have a read up on it.

 

A woman at my work is ginger and is always winging about some ailment or another. I always just assumed that she was a hypochondriac. My lack of sympathy and understanding was, and still will be, most likely due to the fact she's a complete munter.

 

Ah - funny boys.

Nothing serious at all.
Just some eejit that is convinced anesthetic doesn't work, or has limited working ability on gingers

 

Sounds seriously similar to the male I'm referring to.
Always something wrong with the ******, has a cold 24*7*365

 

less pigment / more resistance drugs

sounds unlikely

 

full of shyte then

 

Wonderful, in which case tell said eejit that gingers don't feel pain in the first place on account of having no souls. So of course anaesthetic doesn't work.
