General Anaesthesia allows patients to have the operations or procedures that they need without feeling a thing, because they allow you to go into a very deep sleep. Their invention has been one of the greatest advances in modern medicine, but despite this, many children may find the idea of having general anaesthesia daunting before they know exactly what to expect and how it works.

With this in mind, Dr. Kim Chilman-Blair and Dr. Kate Hersov teamed up with a leading graphic novel artist to create a series of comic books explaining health conditions to young people from a medical viewpoint. Each comic is written by doctors and peer-reviewed by leading specialists in each respective therapy area. Medikidz is a resource designed to educate not only young patients, peers and their parents, but also to aid practitioners and educators in explaining health conditions as effectively as possible.

The books follow a team of five larger than life superheroes from outer space. The Medikidz each specialise in explaining a different part of the body. While You Were Sleeping... Medikidz Explain General Anaesthetics is an engaging way to educate children, teaching them what to expect.

SYNOPSIS:

Elaine is worried when she finds out she's going to be 'knocked out' before her operation. She's confused about what this means and needs the help of the Medikidz to set the record straight. They take her through Mediland, the planet shaped like the human body, to explain what general anaesthetics are, how they work and what to expect if you're having one.
