- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

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?"
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 "
