We connect an Easter-season question to a real anesthesia fact: propofol is formulated with egg lecithin from egg yolk, and that doesn’t automatically mean people with egg allergies can’t receive it. We also break down why propofol safety depends on monitoring and dosing, then pivot to a listener question on CRPS and a practical look at multimodal pain control and long-term opioid risks.
