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!

    Medical staff actually DO sometimes write on the appendage that they are supposed to operate on as one of their checks.

      Yeah, in my hospital pre-op, we physically hand a marker to the patient and tell them to mark where the surgery will be.

        Does that mean I can just mark myself anywhere and you’ll operate on it?

        Think of all the possibilities!
