    Me during a vasectomy:

    Doc: “We can talk while I’m working if it makes you more comfortable”

    Me: 📱"Nope"

      Anesthesiologist probably took this one.

      This is kinda like the setup when my wife had her Cesarian. Curtain up over the waist, wide awake, anesthesiologist right behind.

      She explained that it felt like rummaging around inside a purse, except she was the purse.

    Probably murican and the fully sedated option wasn’t covered on their insurance.

    “Are you sure you don’t want to be under?”

    “If it isn’t covered, no. Figure it out.”

    “But the operation is 6 hours–”

    “So like a regular day after work? I’ll just scroll.”

      Sometimes full sedation is too risky, or at least not worth it for factors other than cost

    I got my back teeth drilled without anesthesia. The short-term pain was better than the aching gum for two days from the shot.
