I woke up after my colonoscopy, asking first "Who roofied me?" then when they gave me the results, I said, "So what you're saying is, I'm the perfect a*****e?"

I've had 3 eye surgeries. The first was when I was a toddler, but the others were a year apart in high school. After the first of those one of the nurses gave me a piece of coffee cake and it was really good. The second time around though I must have had a bad reaction because when I came to, I heard 2 nurses talking about a movie they had seen and this seriously pissed me off. For context, I am usually painfully polite. Not this time though. I was so angry. Then I remembered the coffee cake and insisted on having some. There was no coffee cake. This was in no way acceptable. My dad eventually brought me a snack cake from a vending machine. By then I was starting to come out of it and started falling all over myself trying to apologize for being so awful. A nurse who remembered me said, 'it's okay sweetheart. We know you're not really like that.' To this day, I still feel awful about it.

I had surgery once but they didn't ask me to count or anything. I was in the prep room and told that I would receive the anesthesia. The anesthesiologist was busy getting things ready but after a blink, I decided to disturb him and ask how long it would take for the effect to be felt. He laughed and said "it's done, the surgery is over. We brought you to the prep room to wake you up". I didn't believe him at first because I was dead sure I had been conscious the whole time and no time has passed. I saw the scar on my body and realized my blink had not been a blink. :)

I've had both knees reconstructed. The first time, I woke up during surgery to the surgeon flopping my leg around like a leg of lamb. Didn't hurt or anything, but it was a very odd thing to "imagine". When I went in for my second surgery, I told the anesthetist about my previous experience. He told me not to worry. Told me to count down and next thing I hear is "CODE BLUE, CODE BLUE!!!". I see myself on the table, with the doctor and paddles.....naw, just kidding. Woke up, not having realized I hadn't finished counting down. Anesthetics have a difficult job, judging the amount of anesthesia needed for each individual.

Went in for a colon and endoscopy. As they took me for the procedure I said "If the room is round or the doctor has large black eyes then I'm out of there!" Woke up with the doctor standing next to me and,as he leaned down, he said "The room was square and these are my eyes" Then he walked away chuckling (His eyes were brown)

Had my wisdom teeth removed at the San Francisco Veteran's Hospital. Terrified that I'd come out with a vasectomy or something. They gave me Valium and Demerol intravenously, and I was OUT before I could even count. Woke up in the middle and there were people inside my mouth with picks and shovels banging around and then a HUGE face swam into my field of view and, in a deep voice, said, "GO BACK TO SLEEP!" When I woke up, I offered to sell them my soul for more of that stuff...

Another side effect of anesthesia, speaking from personal experience, is losing memory of a short amount of time before the anesthesia is administered. Several minutes of time got erased from my memory, the doctor assured me that was normal.

Well, it's a good thing Nurses and anesthesiologist's have a good sense of humour 😂

When I was in the usmc I was put under for my wisdom teeth. They asked me to count backwards from a hundred and I got all the way to 52.
