33 Funny Things People Said To Medical Staff Before Their Anesthesia Started Working

I was given propofol for anaesthesia last year & was joking with the anaesthesiologist about Micheal Jackson & just before I went under he's started singing Billie Jean to me.

Just before I went to Mario Land from the pain meds after I shattered ankle, I asked the attending nurse to prom. I was 35 at the time.

Not quite the same but I had an interesting interaction with the nurse who wheeled me in for my colonoscopy. I was terrified to be anaesthetised and he said “don’t stress, Michael Jackson had this stuff for breakfast!”

Me: “Ummm, probably why Michael Jackson is dead.”.

I was about to have a routine colonoscopy. They told me to count backwards from twenty. After a few seconds I was still awake. I looked at the surgeon and said don't touch my butt until I'm asleep or I will be embarrassed!! They laughed, and it was the last thing I remember until I woke up in recovery and my husband helping me dress to leave.

I swallowed a lot of gum as a kid, can you check on that for me?

I'm a redhead, so I always tell the anesthesiologist that I'm not a cheap date. This came after one told me that he nearly emptied his bag of meds to keep me under for the length of the surgery. I woke up still intubated and tried to pull the tube out by myself.

Just make sure I wake up looking like Chris Hemsworth, okay?

I asked the surgeon who was about to implant a spinal cord stimulator in me if they had WiFi in the OR. With a puzzled lock he asked why I was asking that. I said, “ In case you need to lookup something about the procedure “. His reply, “ Don’t worry about that, I helped develop the procedure “.

Years ago, before I went into operating room my doctor asked me to help prank his anesthesiologist friend. I was game so he asked me to say 'oh no, not you again'. Which I did, the look on his face priceless, went out to the laughter in the room.

I made the nurse laugh because i said the room and the clock on the wall reminded me of a SAW movie.

The 1 time I went under I asked the Dr if I was supposed to count back from 100 like I always saw in TV.

He said "it doesn't matter you'll be out before you get to 75"

"100 99 98 97 96....."
"Sir!sir!wake up it's time to get dressed"

I'm not sure if he thought it was funny but I did afterwards.

And the lottery numbers tonight are 25, 36....

I'm looking forward to having you inside me.
