[nagdu] Hostpital and Surgeries

[Sean Moore]

not given general anesthetic?

Oh no, I'd rather be out cold for the whole thing. I haven't been in a 
hostpital for years. No being awake for any of it. Wouldn't like it at all.

But yeah posted the same thing on GDUI why do I get different answers?

Very odd.
