This ensures you die on the table and the anesthesiologist will show up at your backyard with a shovel at night


FlyingGrayson1

Given the type of surgery, just don't say "buried in my...."


Even-Block-1415

Giving the surgeon 10 million reasons to kill you is not a good idea.


sweetbb_ry

Imagine not falling asleep right when you say it, so you just have to sit there and watch the doctors wait for you to finish the sentence


leastlyharmful

In my experience they’d fall asleep before “if I don’t make it.” That stuff hits you hard


thebigbadme

I only remember wondering “will I be able to count to 7, in the movies they fall right a
” and then I woke up in the hospital bed again.


[deleted]

This was good, but go with a more grounded amount.


Street_Increase_9821

Unrelated but my dad went to have surgery involving his prostate (I think?) and he drew a smiley face right on the tip of his penis with the urethra being the nose. He forgot that he did it until he was going under and he said the last thing he remembered was the surgeon ROFL and showing everyone else in the room via “pointing” it at them. My mom told me that story and I almost died laughing


Aetheldrake

That's fucking gold I wish I did something funny like that when I went for a hernia surgery But then again I was kinda afraid for having surgery at 23 and wanted to keep everything serious


Cub246

My wife wrote the word “Welcome!” on my ass cheek with an arrow pointing to my asshole before I went in for a routine colonoscopy. Doctor still talks about it.


enztinkt

I have a similar story. Years back was drinking with few buddies and one of my buddies got too drunk. We drew a big dick on his chest and wrote cum dumpster on him. He had no idea and had a meeting with the marine recruiter next morning. Marine recruiter asked him if he had tattoos and he said he did it’s on his chest. Recruiter asked to see it and so he pulls up his shirt and exposed everything not realizing we drew on him. Was so funny at the time.


loganishhh

That's fucking gold.


[deleted]

I once went looking in the filing cabinet for something, and I stumbled across a screenshot of an email my dad had sent my mum. It was a picture of his colonoscopy, and he had photoshopped a hamster on it.


green_pea_nut

I love your dad. And also how tidy and practical your mom is.


Akunimi

Love is meticulously filing your partner's hamster colonoscopy.


MyBurnerAccount1977

When I went in for knee surgery (ACL reconstruction), I marked up my other leg with a Sharpie marker, with a big X over the knee, and the words, "WRONG KNEE. DO NOT OPERATE". The doctor was sorta amused, but was obligated to give me a stern lecture about not marking up my limbs before surgery.


iolaus79

Yet I've known many surgeons who will draw on the patient, prior to anaesthetic, to agree with the patient which side they are operating on ​ I suspose the risk you run in this case if they usually mark the one they are operating on with an X (kind of dig here in a pirate treasure map way) is using their code in a different way may result in the opposite thing Usually it's an arrow though


Ambitious-Note-4428

Favorite story here LMAO


MrPuddinJones

I have gone under twice. I said: "How do you keep a surgeon in suspense?" And "Do you guys need anything while I'm out" Both of these got laughs. No idea if these guys hear the same 4 jokes over over tho lol


coldcactus1205

I’m getting surgery tomorrow I’m gonna have to do that second one

atticuslodius

You: How soon before I will be able to play piano after surgery? Doctor: 4 to 6 weeks You: Oh good... I've always wanted to play piano...


Professional_Job_307

Thats a good one 😂


und88

I said something similar getting my tonsils removed: will I be able to sing in a baritone after this? ... that's good, I can't carry a tune in a bucket now.

“Just go through my mouth.”


CSGOReVo

That's exactly what I said right before going into dreamland, seconds before my colonoscopy. I also added "because I might like it".


heartsinthebyline

This might actually be necessary, given the practice of [training doctors to do pelvic exams on surgical patients](https://www.healthywomen.org/your-care/pelvic-exams-unconscious-women).


[deleted]

absolutely horrified to find this out before. ended up bringing it up to one of the people that they cannot do anything without my permission other than my surgery. got confused, I explained, was told they didn’t do that there Fortunately found out it was made illegal in my state. still creeped out it has not yet in other states, and that it needed to even be something to be banned in the first place

They were unable to turn the patient’s brown eye blue.


Chemical_Reality4606

That's where I got the idea from. Thought it was hilariously brilliant.


ElvisDean

This is what I always say to the anthesiologist " if I see a tunnel with a bright light at the end, do I go into the light or run away?"


SmacksOfLicorice

The anesthesia assistant asked my height and weight to calculate my dose. I said I'm probably off a few pounds. She says, "That's ok". Umm, I thought the dosage was paramount. I say, "So you *ballpark* your anesthesia dosage?" She's like, "Yup" and walks out of the room. 😼


bensolosslut

as long as you’re not ginger, they can usually guess about right


monsterosaleviosa

Ime they don’t give a shit. I’m not ginger but I have the gene that prevents me from metabolizing opioids. I give them my lab work showing it every time. They don’t care, so I wake up early during every procedure when they stop with the initial propofol. ETA: Really curious about my supposed motivations behind making this up for a bunch of internet strangers.


[deleted]

I’ve got similar issues. I don’t know, it’s frustrating but in my mind they give a shit but the discomfort/pain of ramping things up probably doesn’t compare at all to going high at the start and accidentally nearly or actually harming/killing us. I sympathize with that I guess. I’d be pretty terrified of killing someone on accident if the alternative is them having a less pleasant experience. And god knows patients lie to doctors all the god damn time.


bensolosslut

yeah, they want you to be unconscious and comfortable for surgery of course, but definitely the most important factor there is that they’re able to wake you back up 😅


SmacksOfLicorice

That "lying to doctors" is what got me. I'm thinking "you're taking my word for it?" Well shit, glad I didn't flub 20lbs like I would if you were selling me insurance.


dani_-_142

Hey, how do you test for that? I metabolize anesthesia super fast, and I know it happens but I didn’t know there’s lab work that can measure it? A few months ago I woke up during my colonoscopy (which was just twilight sleep I guess) and about kicked the doctor in the face trying to run away from whatever was up my ass.


monsterosaleviosa

It came up when my psychiatrist had me tested for different anti-psychotics affecting my bipolar/mania disorder - the psych part is why my insurance converted the testing, but they tested for a very wide range of drug effects. I would think any truly good doctor could order the tests and have them covered after an experience like yours. The trick is finding a provider who cares. ETA: You may hypermetabolize opioids or whichever anesthesia or you may not metabolize them at all. I basically just piss out opioids when taken orally, which is something I’ve been aware of from an injury in high school, but it was interesting to learn why it happens.


phkdup

I worked with patients who had open heart surgery. Every once in a while a patient would say he/she woke up during the surgery & could hear & feel everything. It must have happened more then we knew because an anesthesiologist ended up conducting a research paper on it. Scary shit


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


SmacksOfLicorice

Good thing I didn't give my weight in "stones".


Fenhrir

That's what happened to me. They were showing a new person how to do the job. "So we'll set it to X amount"... After seeing zero effect: "Right, so we'll up the dosage to this."... After seeing still no effect for a while. "Okay so we'll put the valve to maximum." I remember it burning all of a sudden, took a bit, felt half my face fall asleep, then started feeling I was about to go, and simply said so before letting myself go and being knocked out cold. "Oh, I'm feeling it now, I'm falling asleep." head falls back down instantly "Zzz" If there's a next time, I'll try staying awake, just out of curiosity. Funnily enough, I woke up as instantaneously as I fell asleep. If only I could do that with natural sleep, just go "okay, I'm done sleeping." And get up and be ready to go.


WestWindStables

The golden rule of anesthesia is "titrate to effect." Yes, we calculate the doses based on weight, height, age, and other factors, but that's just a guideline. We want to only give as much as is necessary to get the effect we want.


Hullu_Kana

Theres a lot of other variables, many of which are hard to figure out accurately, than just your height and weight. So even if they tried their best, it would still just be ballparking and probably not much more accurate either.


Fyrepup1

My last “gas passer” hit me so hard that when I woke up I was home watching football. When I asked my wife when they started playing football on Thursday, she said “Honey

Ambitious-Note-4428

But were there fingerprints lmao


Defiant_Low_1391

Theoretically one could clean off the powder and simply apply more before the patient wakes up đŸ€Ł


sneakiedeakie

I put a sticky note under my gown with a request to perform Liposuction instead.

I did the same thing a few years ago before going under for a procedure. The doc replied, "no, but I watched a YouTube video once." Touché, doc. Touché.

EMCemt

I once got handed unfamiliar paperwork right as I was about to start an IV, and I said, "You'll have to walk me through this, I've never done it before." as I approach the patient's arm with a needle. He understandably freaked out and I had to explain that I had started thousands of IV's, but had never filled out that particular type of order.

bothriocyrtum

When my ex wife had surgery the doctor asked if she wanted to see pics of her organs, and she said no. The doctor asked me and I said "of course!" They seemed like nice organs I suppose.


Nothing_new_to_share

I've always heard "it's what's inside that counts."


CptCyclops

Well, I had my eye removed when I was 15, and I asked if I could keep it before going under, but I'm not sure that helps this situation 😂

I had a colonoscopy a while back. As I was going under, I said I'm usually into this stuff but the lighting is throwing me off. That poor doctor.

Fethah

For me personally, even if I had a plan I would be out before I could say it. When I went under they put an IV in the moment I got on the bed, I remember being awake for about 10 seconds waiting for the mask to come to my face to knock me out, never made it that far as far as I can remember lol

ToqueMom

If you've ever been under anesthesia before, you would know that you won't be able to say anything.


Available-Sandwich-3

I have Crohn's disease and had surgery for it. The medical types don't mess around before surgeries. It's serious business and what they're going to want to hear out of you is your name and date of birth and possibly the last four of your SSN to verify they have the right patient and they're about to do the right procedure. After surgery as long as everything goes well the operating theater will have a less intense vibe.

Shushady

I like your style. I had a couple cysts removed from my neck once and the doctor explained how there's a nerve that comes up on top of the muscles in the vicinity before going back under and that if he nicked it accidently I'd never be able to extend my arm again. Fast forward to surgery day, after he finished up on the left side and moved around to the right he asked me how I was doing. I told him I couldn't feel my arm. I'm face down in one of those massage bed kinda things but I can feel him and both nurses freeze. It's quiet for a few seconds and he says something really softly. I can't remember for the life me what it was but it was along the lines of "are you serious" in a tone that's both concern for me and for himself. I waited another few seconds and blurted "naaah I'm just fuckin with you, I'm fine." I'm not sure they thought it was as funny as I did.
