Anaesthesiologists, what are the best things people have said under the gas?
1. One patient asked, "Am I in hell?" I responded, "No you're not, you're just in recovery." They replied, "That sounds like something the devil would say. Count backwards from 100 to prove it."
2. A patient who
stroked my unshaved arm while I was trying to keep him from pulling at his IV, muttered, "you'd make such a great carpet".
3. I had a patient start a joke before surgery and finish it when they woke up without prompting.
4. My uncle is one and he said someone started singing The Phantom of the Opera then immediately started rapping mumbled lines.
And what about patients?
5. I went under for a nasal canal surgery and apparently after the surgery I was holding the nurse's hand and repeating, "I love you, don't leave me" over and over.
6. After getting my wisdom teeth removed I looked at my mother-in-law and said, "How did you get on my rocket ship?"
7. When my stepdad was going under for a surgery, he was almost out but was at a sweet point so the doctor told my mum she could ask him anything and he wouldn't be able to help but answer truthfully. She asked, "Do you love me?" My stepdad replied, "You need to go on and get your little Yoda shoes." (Via Reddit.com)
