I've been knocked out twice for surgeries.
First was for a wisdom tooth that shattered inside my jaw, right before covid shut down all non emergency surgeries.
They actually found a vein in the arm. Doctor talked to me a bit before they wheeled me back into a surgery room. Only the nurses in there. They were preparing and saw I was nervous. "Oh, don't worry! He's an amazing doctor." She pauses. "We do call him the velociraptor though" me "what why?" "Cause he has short arms!" They say, laughing! "That's mean!" I say. "Don't worry, you won't remember this"
"I'll remember this!" I'm now trying to say, around a mouthful of gauze. I did remember at least.
Second time for an upper endoscopy. They can't find a vein in my arm, so they put it in my hand. Taken to a much smaller darker cramped room with a tv that is surely showing my insides later. "Okay this might hurt, since it's in your hand" "Ow fuck that hurts" and the next thing I know a new to me nurse is wheeling the bed and my talking ass into a recovery room. (I was talking about animal crossing, she was confused)
