People have a lot on their minds, and surgery drugs have a special way of letting all those things fall out. With that precious little filter stripped away, things get said that might be regrettable or completely nonsensical. Maybe the only thing that makes it all okay is that it's extremely common for people to say wild stuff while waking from anesthesia.

Anesthesia lets us do amazing life-saving surgeries on people all the time, but another one of its effects is that it creates some good stories. People say some funny stuff when they'e under anesthesia, and almost none of it makes any sense.

The folks of Reddit have spoken and are in collective agreement that this dude was out of line. Not only did he suggest that his girlfriend use makeup, but he also threw out a bit about her getting very serious surgery on her face. That's just making her insecurities all the worse, man. 

When you go under the knife, you assume that the highly-skilled surgeons know exactly what they're doing once they cut you open. Of course, you hope that the margins for error are minimum and that you will wake up with all your body parts intact, as they should be (unless you're in a Saw movie). But even surgeons encounter "oh shit" moments, and Reddit's surgeons are revealing all their scary experiences where things almost took a drastic turn for the worst. If you have an upcoming surgery, this probably isn't for you.

Having surgery is a pretty big deal, even if it is a minor procedure. With all sorts of risks at stake, anaesthesiologists have an important job of ensuring that patients stay sedated for the entirety of the surgery. But sometimes they can mess up, causing patients to wake up during their operations and of course, freak. The. F*ck. Out. I'm sure I would! Reading through these real accounts of people who have woken up during their surgeries is enough to make me pray I never have to go under the knife if I can help it... it's truly the stuff of nightmares!

It's probably safe to say that most of us are extremely over the pandemic and its BS at this point, but sadly that won't make it go away any faster. It's important that we all keep social distancing as much as possible and wearing masks. Booo. 

Now click here for some memes that'll remind you of how horrible the American healthcare system is!

Artist behind @okbluecomics, adorable and wholesome webcomics all draw in blue, recently shared a more personal comic featuring his dog, Korbin.

He shared the story about how Korbin's knee came to be injured on Imgur, "About a year ago my dog, Korbin, was running to the house from the back yard, when he got to the deck he made a strange yelp and started limping. After going to the vet, we were given some medication and sent on our way. We brought it up again but the resolution was trying to keep him from playing with his sibling and lowering activity...didn't help the limp. 

Fast forward to this year during his physical, we were told that he had bad arthritis and he would need TCL surgery (surgery on the knee). He had torn his MCL and CCL (dog equivalent of ACL) and also had bad arthritis. The vet said "If we had gotten to it sooner, we could have prevented the arthritis...?

Luckily, the surgery went great and when he got home we decided to give him a stuff avocado toy he loves to play with and his jammies to snuggle in. He's doing well now and he finally gets his cone off on Thursday! Still a bit to go towards healing, but he's doing great and responding well to the at-home therapy! 

Note: The jammies helped keeping my other 3 dogs from licking his leg, he doesn't wear them all the time, but he will try to get his head into them if they are out.  Picture was right after anesthesia, so he looks kind of loopy"

It's no secret that the American healthcare system isn't known for being the best in the world. If you're poor and need to have some sort of procedure done in a hospital, you can look forward to a hefty bill that may or may not put you into debt for years to come. And if you aren't fortunate enough to receive a health insurance plan through your employer? Well, we don't even want to think about that...

Sometimes people put foreign objects in their bodies. On purpose. And then they get stuck (shocker!) Sometimes people get things inside their bodies that shouldn't be there, by mistake. Regardless of how the stuff gets in there, sometimes surgery is the only way for it to be removed safely. Reddit asked the surgeons of the world for the weirdest things they've ever have had the misfortune to unearth from patients' bodies, and some of the answers are so strange, it's kind of terrifying. People truly know how to turn their bodies into junkyards. Here are some of the weirdest answers we found.
