When I Had My Spinal Injection, The Doctor Said I Wouldn't Bend Over. What's Going On?

Intraspinal anesthesia (lumbar anesthesia, epidural) usually requires the patient to lie in a lateral position, bend the knee, lower the head, and bend the waist. The spinal puncture site is fully exposed and the spinal space is as exposed as possible for the anesthesiologist to insert the needle. But when anesthesia surgery, the average patient will be very nervous, no way to cooperate well, this is very normal, after all, for most people anesthesia and surgery are the first time in life. The anesthesiologist said that he would not bend over, nor was he targeting you or insulting you. Of course, the correct approach should be to try to use words to get the patient's cooperation, which itself is not helpful.
