The maker of that image must be 14 at most.

You don't really know who you are until those last five seconds before the anesthesia takes you down.

The last time I went under, I was talking to the nurses about the equipment in the room and stuff and the last thing I really remember is asking what drug they gave me, and when I learned it was fentanyl I was like “oh, this is fentanyl? It’s pretty nice. I can see why it’s a controlled substance, yeah.”

I’m entirely sure I continued to be annoying though, even if I don’t remember it. Mostly because they don’t tend to bother trying to get me to count, they just kept me chattering. Same thing when they wake me up. I tend to be.. “helpful”.. removing monitor pads and such and slurring my way through asking how it went, if I gave them any trouble, and when I come around a bit more, asking if they amputated the wrong limb (I’ve never had a limb removed).

I know someone who has had quite a few general anesthetics. They've taken to warning the nurses involved that they are a puncher. Several have not taken it seriously and ended up with some impressive bruises (including black eyes).

They also happen to be a (retired) nurse themselves. It's uncommon, but not that uncommon. Most nurses would have seen it before. Its only for 5-10 seconds after waking up. Coming from a relatively skinny woman is quite a bit more unexpected. She also has unusually good aim.

Good aim after waking from anesthesia might be the best superpower humans can get.

Would love to see that. Also the explanation afterwards :D

to be fair there will be several big shapes around you as you wake up on the table, with a highlight in the face area (mask or face), so even if your vision is blurry as heck you should be able to punch decently well.

I thought that was always some combination of croaking out a desperate plea for water or bemoaning a splitting headache.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

For me it's usually insulting the hearing or aggressively vomiting depending on the anesthetic

I assured everyone that I'm OK and that they don't need to worry about me.

We can be glad there are people called „chad“ so normies think we’re talking about a friend named chad and not talking to a nation at whole 🇹🇩

They're talking about the Republic of Chad in central Africa. The Romanian flag happens to look the same.

I was continuing the joke
