Can you share some funny operating room stories?

A story goes that the anesthesia machine malfunctioned during a long - running surgery. The flow of the anesthesia became erratic. The anesthesiologist had to constantly adjust and monitor it manually while also trying to keep the patient under the right level of sedation. It was a very tense situation as any wrong move could have led to the patient waking up or having other serious complications.

There was a case where a surgical instrument was left inside a patient. After the surgery, the patient had continuous pain and discomfort. When they did further scans, they found the instrument. It was a nightmare for the patient who had to go through another surgery to remove it. This kind of negligence in the operating room is a real horror story.

In the operating room, a medical student might face the horror of getting scolded harshly by the chief surgeon in front of the whole team. For instance, if the student made a minor mistake like not passing the right tool at the right time, the surgeon might lose their temper, which can be quite demoralizing for the student.

Well, there was this time when a new person in the weight room was using the treadmill. They were going at a really slow pace and reading a book at the same time. All of a sudden, they dropped the book and in an attempt to pick it up, they hit the emergency stop button and flew forward. Everyone in the room had a good laugh.

Sure. Once I was staying in a hotel and when I opened the minibar, there was a little note from the previous guest saying 'Enjoy the treats, but don't blame me for the calories!'. It made me laugh out loud.

Sure. There was a patient who came in because he thought he had a serious stomach problem. But it turned out he just ate too much at a buffet. He was so worried at first, but when he found out, he started laughing at himself.

Sure. One time in an escape room, we were all so focused on finding the hidden keys. Then suddenly, my friend accidentally knocked over a fake plant and there was the key right under it. We all burst into laughter at how simple it was in the end.

There was a time when a boy in the locker room found a cricket in his locker. He was so scared that he jumped on a bench and started yelling. But then we all helped him catch it and set it free outside. It was quite a hilarious moment.

A woman rushed into the emergency room thinking she was having a heart attack. After all the tests, it turned out she had just eaten too much spicy food and her heartburn was so intense that she mistook it for a heart problem. The doctor advised her to be more careful with her diet in future.

One story I heard was about a couple who were trying some acrobatic moves during sex and the guy accidentally slipped and hit his head on the bedside table. They rushed to the emergency room with him holding his head and his partner trying hard not to laugh. The doctors were quite amused too when they heard the story behind the injury.
