I had to help give CPR to someone recently, and their eyes were partly open. Got me wondering whether they were partly conscious while I was doing compressions.

I really embarrassed myself under general anesthesia when I kept asking the surgeon about one of the nurses I was attracted to. I had no memory of it. He told me about it later.

The worst part was, the nurse was one of my neighbors. She wasn't in the room for the procedure, but I'm sure someone told her about it, because she was frosty afterwards.

Now whenever I go in for something like a colonoscopy, I'm very worried I'll say something stupid. I always ask after I wake up, and they always say I didn't talk. But they might be trained to white lie about that shit.

Yikes. Are you already in a relationship where that could also cause an issue with your S/O? Making them feel jealous/nervous that you would leave for the attractive nurse if you had the opportunity?

Happened many years ago. The neighbor nurse married a creep and they moved away.
