I've been under general anaesthetic 3 times in my life...

The first time was at a teaching hospital - I know the patient before me had created a bit of a bloody mess. One of the juniors was struggling to fit the bracket that would keep my cannulated arm from flopping off the table - a senior came over and fixed it, then asked the junior

"Have you changed your gloves?"

"uhhh ...no?"

"CHANGE YOUR GLOVES!"

The last time I went under, I was chatting with the anaesthetist as he was prepping to put me under - seemed like a nice guy, but a bit of a loose cannon. As he put me under, he said something along the lines of

"We'll take care of you - this was the stuff that Michael Jackson was on."

"...wait what?"

"We'll take care of you - this was the stuff that Michael Jackson was on."

"...wait what?"

Reminds me of that time in 1989 when I was a little girl, going under general anesthesia, the last thing the doctor asked me was "Do you like Bill Cosby?"

Yes read into it all you want. I do. This really happened.

The English equivalent would be "You'll be fine son, but if it doesn't work out, Jim'll Fix It "
