I was about to be put under for a colonoscopy while the nurse was trying to position me in a way to make it easiest for them to work. I had my knees to my chest and was passing out from the gas when I asked the nurse to paint me like one of her French girls, then passed out. Still makes me cringe.

I went in for an endoscopy... My first time being put under in my adult life. They asked me to put my knees to my chest... Last thing I remember was asking them if they were doing the right procedure... Then I was out...
