Back to the surgery stuff....

I had eye surgery, on both eyes, and each time I was asked almost twenty times (I counted them the second time), "Now which eye is it we are working on?"

And then there was the marking, and the face covering with the hole to work through, and the repeated asking of my name. But when the doctor came in it was, "How do you pronounce your name?" I guess he wanted to see if I was nervous or able to respond to a simple question while still verifying he was in the right room.

A friend just had some open heart surgery. I was in the room when they came to take him away. They even asked me, who they didn't know, if the guy was the one they were supposed to be working on. They also asked him to describe what he was expecting them to do.

His description was a silly as you might expect from someone who spends their working life writing jokes. Eventually he had to calm down since it was clear this was serious. They did find his description funny, so on that level it gave them something to laugh about.
