Humour in anaesthesia

Surprised by the title !!
Anaesthesia is such a serious business with life and death,rarely one comes with a humour in it.
Once it so happened after the surgery, the patient came back to me complaining I had charged too much (Rs 1000/)to administer anaesthesia on him, he further accusesed me of charging so much for small injection to put him to sleep before surgery.I try to convince him in my way but he wouldnt agree at all, ultimately when i told him my charge to administer a inj to put him to sleep was only Rs 100/ but to put him back to LIFE was Rs 900/,then there was no sight of the patient

i agree with you, but once it happened to me that i was undergoing ACL surgery and they had to give me anas'a. junior doctors were asked to perform it. senior docs were administering it. the junior doc gave me injection mutlime times to my spine. it was damn angry moment. can u believe a novice is playing with your back ? :)

i just shouted at them for taking me granted and playing guinea pig game :)!!

i realised later, if something goes wrong, the injection would put me to sleep permanently !
