      I know someone who has had quite a few general anesthetics. They’ve taken to warning the nurses involved that they are a puncher. Several have not taken it seriously and ended up with some impressive bruises (including black eyes).

          They also happen to be a (retired) nurse themselves. It’s uncommon, but not that uncommon. Most nurses would have seen it before. Its only for 5-10 seconds after waking up. Coming from a relatively skinny woman is quite a bit more unexpected. She also has unusually good aim.

            Good aim after waking from anesthesia might be the best superpower humans can get.

            Would love to see that. Also the explanation afterwards :D

              to be fair there will be several big shapes around you as you wake up on the table, with a highlight in the face area (mask or face), so even if your vision is blurry as heck you should be able to punch decently well.

      I thought that was always some combination of croaking out a desperate plea for water or bemoaning a splitting headache.

        For me it’s usually insulting the hearing or aggressively vomiting depending on the anesthetic
