un-sedatable buggers

Ever watched those medical dramas where there's always an operation going on, the radio will be turned on in the background and the surgeons will be talking about everything else under the sun except the operation?

The surgeon could sew up a hernia and at the same time, stop to start telling us "tosai" jokes. Anaesthetist was having a ball telling us about the horny mnemonics he used back in his UKM days.

Patient was again not on general anaesthesia. He happened to be working in a factory that produces brake pads and all sorts of other car stuff. Half of the time, he seemed to be having a very interesting conversation about cars with the anaesthetist.

Damnit, don't those sedatives work anymore these days.
