I am so sorry to hear about the Queen's health condition God bless her.
it is only used for minor surgery. The idea is that the patient concentrates so deeply on anything (but not that knife cutting away) that they don't feel it. Compare it to a doctor talking to a child and keeping it busy when he tries to give it an injection. For me it never worked, but some get so caught up in the story they/the doctor tell(s) that they don't feel the injection. It's the same principle.
ETA: just heard on the radio: the Palace says the condition of the Queen is "serious but stable". She has a serious pneumonia.

You have stated this perfectly.I hope for her recovery but if that is not meant to be I hope she passes easily and peacefully.
Yes,she was also given a very light aneasthesia.
According to the latest communique of the Royal Palace,the condition of HM has not improved nor deteriorated.
Still cause for serious concern.
Queen Fabiola has always made clear that she is not afraid to pass over,she trusts completely on her faith,sees
it as the beginning of a new life,and moreover the joy to be reunited with her beloved Baudouin.
Last night however belgian tv had a program in which people on the streets were asked wheter or not they would
go to Brussels in case the Queen died....and more of that sort of thing.
Totally tasteless as I'm sure many will agree.
How tacky! Why would they even consider asking such a ridiculous question? Queen Fabiola deserves much more than casual street interviews.
I am a bit confused about the hypnosis. Was this done in lieu of anaesthesia? Is this something that is frequently done in Belgium? I have never heard of anyone undergoing hypnosis for surgery.
Queen Fabiola is in my thoughts and prayers.
Some news that her condition is slightly better.

It is very likely that no family members have visited yet - the Queen is in Intensive care, and in Belgium visitor regulations are very strict there. Of course it is also possible reporters just don't recognize her Spanish and Luxembourg family.
Lucien, I suppose you are talking about "Man bijt hond""? It's a tacky programme, no matter what it is about. They pretend to interview and give an idea about what people think "in the street". I can assure you it is not representative. That programme is the shame of state television here in Belgium. IMHO.
