What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?
Last time, I used: "Anybody need anything while I'm out?" and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

Whether you are happy or not depends very much on the gender of the anaesthetist here.
It's not the anaesthetist that does pelvic exams, it's medical students. Medical students need experience so they practice on anaesthetized patients. There was a story on the radio of a male medical student who was supposed to do an exam on a woman and he realized that she was unaware and hadn't specifically consented and so he mentioned his concerns to his peers and it started a discussion worldwide about the practice. I don't think the practice is limited to pelvic exams.
Never really thought about it. I suppose I would prefer a woman to do it, but wouldn't necessarily mind if a man did it IF I wasn't completely creeped out that they did something purposeful and unnecessary to me while I was knocked out.
That's a big if
gotta follow rules 1 and 2
