Everyone here's talking about how their anesthesia takes 3 seconds to take effect. I've have surgery today and took a long ass time in comparison. I remember the anesthesiologist telling me, for the 4th or 5th time, "Breath in through you nose, breath out through your mouth." Then saying "Yeah you are already doing that." I think they where getting preoccupied about it.

Apparently that's normal in my family, when my mother was getting local anesthesia to give birth to me, she was supposed to not even be able to move her legs. When a nurse was checking up on the anesthesia and asked her to try and rise a leg, she raised both of them really high and the nurse just went "oh fuck".
