Lbr she's totally dealt with SO much worse than a loopy teenager using slang. Pretty sure anyone who doesn't freak out or do anything gross in response to the drugs is a cakewalk

Thatโ€™s like me yelling about needing my Tea when I came out of anesthesia. Had no clue but apparently whatever I said had pretty much every nurse in stitches.

I don't remember ANY of it but I've been told that one time when I was being wheeled to the operating room I was hitting on the nurses lol I've also been told by several nurses at different hospitals that that's VERY normal and *FAR* from the worst they get.

Lol that's a lot better than what I did

It wasn't even for surgery; they put me under partial sedation for a gastroscopy, and I apparently started taking swings at the staff and tried to pull the thing out of my throat

They had to put me fully under to actually do anything

The way they tell it (and I have no cause to doubt them) some people say/do some truly heinous shit and the nurses just have to tank it.

One guy told me, as kindly as you please, that future nurses would consider it a courtesy if I told them beforehand that I *flail* (and I am very not-small).

That's called good bedside manner, and it is a *boon* when med staff have that skill.

Phlebotomists (the docs who specifically do IVs and blood draws) usually have it, in my experience.

phlebotomists either have it or they don't, there's no in-between (in my experience)

A good phlebotomist is truly god tier. One accidentally helped teenage me get over my fear of needles. We were having such an interesting conversation that I literally didn't notice she took 5 phials. I was actually upset it was over cause I wanted to keep yapping with her lmao

Few months ago I was groggy after spine surgery, and as the nurse was telling my parents what to look for at the incision site, I said "oh, so like a spay site, got it". Nurse looked at me, remembered I work for a vet, and said "you know what, you aren't wrong"

Can confirm docs are like this. My drink was spiked and my friend brought me to a clinic and the doc just sat there dead seriously listening to me being an complete idiot but it was very reassuring

That goes incredibly hard. That's the type of bed manners I love. What a good professional.

I suspect many medical professionals have just kinda developed the skill of "I didn't understand the exact words, but I understood the intent," haha ๐Ÿ˜‚ Especially if they've dealt with a lot of people on anesthesia!
