General anesthesia is pretty hard on the system. I've heard of operations not being done on people or animals, not because the operation was taxing on the body, but because the body would not survive the anesthesia. It's why local anesthesia is always preferable, if possible. Of course, some people may be more affected than others.
Any docs here?
