Anesthesia and pain management coverage often centers on contract controversy, pill-mill allegations and substance abuse, but not all industry news is so heavy.
As proof, Someecards compiled a list of the funniest things patients have said on anesthesia. Five highlights:
1. "Sorry, I thought I was a shark." - A man who awoke violently
2. "How did you get on my rocketship?" - A patient speaking to their mother-in-law
3. "You got those crackers that come in packs of six with the cheese?" - A hungry patient
4. "You'd make such a great carpet." - A patient stroking his physician's unshaved arm
5. "You need to go on and get your little Yoda shoes." - A patient whose wife asked if he loved her
