    For my first surgery I had been told something like the above. I was twelve and didn’t have much to be embarrassed about, other than the things that might worry every twelve year old boy, but I was still concerned. When I was in recovery I asked the surgeon “what did I say while I was under?”

    He responded “I’m sworn to silence.” I worried about that for months if not years, especially because I had to have two more surgeries under his care.

    Nothing embarrassing was ever publicized AFAIK.
