I'm jealous. I said "you people always mumble" and my wife had to apologetically explain to the black nurse that I meant hearing people. I couldn't focus my eyes enough to see the skin color of the nurse. And that's the better of my two stories. When I got my wisdom teeth out it was supposed to be outpatient, but I woke up mid procedure, and after being put back down I came to and spent the next few hours emptying my stomach every time it managed to get some acid back into it.
