Dear Patient,
This tape has been produced to exacting standards, utilizing the latest research in the field of behavioral anesthesia and mind/body medicine. Studies confirm that listening to a specially produced guided imagery relaxation tape prior to surgery can reduce post-operative pain, decrease blood loss, decrease anxiety, shorten your hospital stay and improve wound healing.
For the greatest results begin listening to this tape (once or twice a day) starting 4 days prior to your operation and continuing for one week after your surgery. Additional benefit will be gained if you also listen to this tape during your actual operation. You should discuss this with your anesthesiology provider and surgeon before your operation in order to avoid confusion.
Side A and Side B are identical, so we recommend that you use a cassette player with auto-reverse during your operation. We wish you the best of health and a speed recovery from your surgery.
Neil F. Neimark, M.D.
