Who made this

Why it exists

Almost everyone who has surgery has questions the night before, and most of them are hard to ask out loud. Will I wake up? Will I feel anything? What about the medication I take? People deserve honest, plain-language answers from someone who does this work, not a brochure and not a guess.

Clinicians deserve better too. The people keeping patients safe often reach for slow, dated, or paywalled tools for the everyday math and reference they use dozens of times a day. Fast, free, well-referenced tools should just exist.

So this is one place that tries to serve both: calm, honest answers for patients, and quick, cited tools for the clinicians who care for them.

How the answers work

The answers here are grounded in a corpus of licensed and permitted professional sources, and every answer shows the sources it rests on and when they were last reviewed. When the sources do not cover a question well, the Site says so plainly and points you back to your care team rather than making something up. Honest and cited beats confident and wrong, especially in medicine.

None of this is medical advice, and none of it replaces your own anesthesia team. It is here to help you understand and to help you prepare good questions. You can read the full Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

A note on independence

Jack is also the founder of a healthcare AI company, Hank AI. This site is separate from that company. It is a personal project, it delivers none of Hank AI's services, and it has no runtime dependency on them. If you arrived looking for billing, coding, or claims tools, the links below point you to where those actually live, with full disclosure of the connection.
