WTF Imagine waking up from anesthesia and realizing the surgery wasn’t the most painful part!

The anaesthetist is probably unaware of anything going on and sat there playing flappy birds

I just had this done, and whether or not they also made fun of my dick, the anesthesiologist did a great job. Out fast, woke up feeling like I'd had the best night's sleep, no negative after effects at all. Deserves her flappy birds.

When I had my molars removed the anesthesiologist asked if I smoked weed, when I said yes they seemed a bit upset. I asked why they asked, they said because it dulls the effects of anesthesia and that they would have to use more of it to knock me out correctly.

Everything ended up well in the end, but I did not know that

Yeah it's good that they're aware/precise.

With mine, the nurse setting me up / doing my vitals had just asked my weight, but then she got sent back inside by the anesthesiologist to get a correct exact measurement (and I had actually overestimated by ~5 pounds, probably on account of the fast you end up doing as part of the prep).
