I keep wondering why the dude recorded it in the first place⌠like what happened to make him do that?
Ick, just yuk. I wouldnât normally advocate for a big jury award when no physical injuries occurred, but sometimes itâs good to send a message that a given behavior is simply unacceptable to a jury of your peers.
He was probably just curious.
âHm, I wonder what theyâll talk about while iâm out?â
And possibly:
âIâm so self-conscious, I bet people talk about me behind my back. I bet this person doesnât like meâŚâ and then⌠âO shit.â
when I read the article, it said that he ran the recording to catch any post-operation directions given him by his doctor.
Having gone under for gastroscopy before, I think his idea was a good one.
Good thing he lives in a singe-party consent state.
Iâm familiar with their frequent presence in âsports medicineâ, especially its low end; but why would a follower of the âyeah? just Man Up!â school become an anesthesiologist? It makes no sense. If you are the anesthesiologist itâs your damn job to ensure that the patientâs pain tolerance, whatever it may be, is challenged as little as possible. Thatâs why you get access to the cool drugs.
Not a bad idea if youâre going to be groggy when you receive the instructions.
I dunno. Glad nobodyâs there to record what I say to co-workers about some thoroughly a-hole customers weâve dealt with, though, granted, I have the intelligence to do it when the a-hole in question is not in the same room. StillâI thought this was a crazy award for a conversation that they had no reason to believe he could hear⌠until I got to the false diagnosis partâŚat which point it seemed like it wasnât enough.
From TFA: âAccording to the Washington Post, he had hit record before going under âto capture the instructions his doctor would give him after the procedure.ââ
He probably has had experience with anesthetics in the past causing him to have memory loss or delirium afterwards.
Yeah, I think I skimmed too fast. Dâoh!
Whats that stand for?
Yup, Iâve had a colonscopy exam, and whatever they give you does make you groggy (according to the anesthetist at the time he said it was the same thing that Michael Jackson odâd on). So when waking up it did take a while to come to, also no driving for 24hours, in fact you need to have someone pick you up at the hospital. So totally understandable why someone would want to record that.
I did ask for the imported anesthetic, none of the local stuff.

I think people who choose anesthesiology are trying to optimize their pay-to-actual-work-done ratio (not that I havenât appreciated the services of an anesthesiologist before).
Thats what I thought. Thanks.
Just checking that you were being rude for no real reason, ta.
Today I learned that you can get tuberculosis in your penis. Lovely.
Heh. Always the way I go too. No need to grit (my teeth) and bear it, seems to me.
Is it normal in the US to have total anaesthesia for colonoscopy? I have had one and I know of others who have here in Norway, none with any anaesthesia.
Surely the risks associated with total anaesthesia are out of proportion to the minor discomfort of the procedure.
Youâve been here a few years - are you driving trollies?
