Hospitals, dental practices – most of you will agree that visiting these kinds of places is far from fun.
Perhaps it's the people in scrubs or that overly clean medical smell that gives you the heebie-jeebies – whatever it is, the whole process can be pretty stress-inducing.
Moreover, if you've ever been scheduled for surgery, there could've been a certain little thing that you were probably anticipating with immense dread – and that's anesthesia.
“Anesthesiologists, what is something you won’t forget hearing from someone that was under?” – this netizen turned to one of Reddit’s most informative communities, wondering what crazy things patients under procedural sedation have said. The post has managed to receive nearly 45K upvotes in just a day, as well as 12.3K comments sharing chucklesome stories.

Am patient's relative rather than anaesthesiologist - but as he started going under, patient (hydraulics engineer) started trying to tell the dr what type of pump they should install to fix the busted blood vessel in his brain.

I was 17 at the time but got my wisdom teeth taken out. Everything went as planned, but I woke up and remember seeing the oral surgeon. Me, being dosed with grade A giggle juice and having no idea [why?] I was doing, asked her if she would like to grab boba sometime. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life… 5 years later: she let me shadow for part of my dental school shadowing requirement and is giving me a LOR for applications next cycle…not a boba date but all things considered, she was a great mentor

Not the anesthesiologist, but as a surgery tech working next to them: **Patient, woozily:** “Doc, will I still be able to integrate after this?” **Gas passer:** “Integrate? Like what?” **Patient:** “Like the sum of f(x) from a to b when…” **Gas passer:** _pushes more milk of amnesia_

Patient here. I was getting my wisdom teeth out, and before I went under I told them that bananas are radioactive. When I woke up, I proceeded to repeat that several times and explain radioactivity.

I had a surgery to remove bone spurs from my big toes in early February of 2005. I woke up while the doctor was grinding the bone down and asked if he thought Donovan McNabb could lead the Eagles to a Superbowl win. He nodded at the anesthesiologist and I don't remember anything after that.
