Cocaine and general anesthetic

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

I'm going under general anesthetic on Tuesday to have my four wisdom teeth taken out. Today is Sunday and it's also my birthday. I just had a few lines of cocaine and now I'm worried that it could have a negative impact on the operation. Please help! Should I be worried?
