“…That’s Your Flesh Burning…”
“Do you smell that? That’s your flesh burning.” -Anesthesiologist to mother during a cesarean after she expressed her fear of the anesthesia not working.
My anesthesiologist told me they were “pinching me with some really sharp instruments” and that he figured the anesthesia must be working because I was smiling. I just thought it was funny at the time. Saying I was smelling my own burning flesh is just WAY too far.

Well, it was the truth. I’m sure they get sick of complaining the meds aren’t working when they obviously are.

Absolutely, why should anesthesiologists have to deal with whiny moms who complain just because they can actually feel themselves being sliced open from hip to hip?
