30 Funniest Things Patients Have Said On Anesthesia

This one is really funny, especially because the poor doctor thought it was a new bizarre side effect that his patient was now speaking a completely different language perfectly.

honestly if I was the doctor I would have thought a chinese demon had possesed him lol

This is funny. The anesthesiologist must have have thought his patient is possessed. Lol.

Heh, how high-larious.

Imagine just putting someone under anaesthesia and then they start talking to you fluently in your language.

Awesome!

lol

XD

No more secrets now!

my favourite!

How do you know the devil wouldn't be able to count backwards from 100 though?

Great carpet..LOL

lol I probably shouldn't read these while attempting to leave customer's a voicemail

that second one has happened to me like 100 times babysitting and working in church daycare... I'm a 17 y/o girl 🤦🤪😂

Why has nobody mentioned the unshaved arm? Who shaves their arms?

I don't understand why in USA it is common to use anesthesia with colonoscopy. Here in Finland anesthesia is only used when it is really needed because there are some health risks with using anesthesia. Colonoscopy is not painful if it is done correctly so anesthesia is not usually needed.

There are two different types of colonoscopies. One is less invasive and does not require complete sedation. The other more invasive colonoscopy is usually given with complete sedation. We're talking about two different procedures.

Before my colonoscopy I blinked. When I opened my eyes they were done.

I remember my colonoscopy, mine was similar. I told Doc I was feeling a bit dizzy and he told me " here take a breath if this" and that was the last thing I remembered until waking up.

The poor nurses face

That is because general anaesthesia actually has several components because they need to do different things - you need a drug to induce immobility (loss of motor reflexes) and paralysis (skeletal muscle relaxation), one to induce hypnosis (unconsciousness), another for analgesia (loss of response to pain) and finally, one for amnesia (loss of memory), so you don't remember the pain. Seems like OP's husband got out from the first few but not the last one, which is why he forgot what he was doing until the chicken teriyaki.

my teacher "woke up" at chick-fil-a and asked who ate his chicken sandwich. It was him and there were three chicken sandwiches

Some drugs block the formation of memories (one of the explicit purposes of using high doses of benzodiazepines before surgeries begin). People may be entirely outwardly functional but suddenly notice they can’t remember anything from when they first came to. There’s also a state you can be in that’s like sleep walking. Some people do this entirely without drugs, just because of odd sleep neurology. This stuff is quite fascinating, especially to me, a person who has a lot of sleep issues/ parasomnias (though, as far as I and my bed partners know, I’ve not sleepwalked since childhood; I’m almost disappointed).

How confuse would I be 😳

wow XD

Same thing as above, general anaesthesia has several components because they need to do different things - you need a drug to induce immobility (loss of motor reflexes) and paralysis (skeletal muscle relaxation), one to induce hypnosis (unconsciousness), another for analgesia (loss of response to pain) and finally, one for amnesia (loss of memory, basically stops the memories from fixing). In this case, the drug for amnesia hit before that for hypnosis, which us why he was still able to count but forgot about it later.

They use amnesiac causing meds with the "twilight" sedation.

I've got to try this!

Awesome!

Yup, recollection/memory is blocked, but not functionality. It was a benzodiazepine in that syringe.

I have a feeling Grandma knew exactly what she was doing and wanted to say that to him for a long time. She show the opportunity and took it. GO Grandma.

That story was told at her funeral!? *falls down from chair*

Excellent Air-bag is a great band name.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

My grandma once fainted in church and woke up to firemen/EMT's putting her on a stretcher. She'd hit her head and was out for awhile, so they just wanted to make sure. My gran is a funny lady but very conservative. One thing they have to do is remove anything that could be restricting you, so they had to take her pantyhose off. One of them was trying to do so. She was still very out of it and shouted, "WOOHOO! It's been a long time since I've had a man up there!" Then demanded they close the ambulance doors so they could be alone.
