Surgery is already a frightening and stressful thought. To think about undergoing surgery sends you into a tailspin of “what if” questions and concerns. But to help ease the panic attacks that can send your nerves into a frenzy, here are some things you don’t want to hear your surgeon say while you are under anesthesia.

  1. “Oops!”
  2. “Rats, I forgot my glasses again.”
  3. “Hey bring that back! Bad dog. A human bone is no toy for a dog.”
  4. “You forgot what he was in for? Oh well, let’s surprise him.”
  5. “Shoot, I can’t get my arm out of her back. We’re going to have to cut it off.”
  6. “Someone call the janitor, we have a BIG mess again.”
  7. “Hand me that…uh…that uh…thingie.”
  8. “Wait a minute. If this is his spleen, then what’s that?”
  9. “I’m not really a doctor, but I’ve played one on TV.
  10. “I can do this with my eyes closed.”
  11. “This is going to hurt you a lot more than it’ll hurt me.”
  12. “Could you stop that thing from thumping, it’s throwing my concentration off.”
  13. “Oops. Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff before?”
  14. “Dang it, not again.”
  15. “You didn’t really need that anyway.”
  16. “Ya know, there’s big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy’s got two of ’em.”
  17. “What do you mean he wasn’t in for a sex change?”
  18. “Accept this sacrifice O Great Lord of Darkness.”
  19. “Um, is this thing supposed to be moving? Cause I think it’s about to choke the patient.”

So now, who’s ready for an operation? 👩🏻‍⚕️💉👨🏻‍⚕️

  1. Good ones, Miz Kym. You know there is a reason that they write down on the limb, which one is to operated on and/or amputated. My father in law went in to have a cyst removed from his back. He got shoved into a room and left. He finally had to walk out in the hallway to find out what was going on.

  5. Haha! I’ve been in several surgeries with my former job and I’m glad I didn’t hear any of those! A few, which hip? Or Clamp!! Or blaming the instrument for the docs’s incompetencies, though. Maggie

  7. LOL. Here’s another. My cousin, Colleen, went in for a colonoscopy. As she was fading under the anesthesia, the nurse said, “Now don’t worry about a thing. We will take good care of you, Kathy.”

    Hugs to you, my dear Kym.

  21. Nooooo girl, not calling her by the wrong name? 😱 Now that is scary as all get out Mary. I hope they didn’t give her an operation for something other than what she went in for. Scary and insane! 🤦🏻‍♀️😝🤷🏻‍♀️
