During surgery, why don't you pee and poop since your muscles are relaxed?

Your bowels slow way down with anesthesia. That's why everyone in the hospital is obsessed about you pooping again after surgery, especially if you throw pain meds into the equation.

Sometimes they put a catheter in to catch the pee. Why don't people shit during, say, a 4 hour operation?

How can you be sure you didn't ?

If you're able to sleep through being sliced open and sewn back up, I'm sure shitting yourself on the operating table isn't going to be an issue.*

This is why they tell you no eating or drinking at least 12 hours before any operation

I often wonder the same thing about quadriplegics. And I guess paraplegics too.

Why is poop brown?

I asked my supervisor this the other day, and she wrote me up!

Digestion takes longer than 12 hours, so even if you fasted there is still poop in your body waiting to come out. No one has answered my question and stop the Grumpy shaming.

You're unconscious, not dead! You may as well ask why people don't piss and shit the bed when they're asleep.
