Retina Repair
When my left eye's retina began detaching, they used silicone bands to make the eye more oblong, so as to bring the eyeball's inner surface and the detaching retina closer together, then tacked the two together by freezing the eyeball from the outside-in using liquid nitrogen. For a week, I had a 'dead eye' look that frightened children and adults alike. Yup - Halloween in November, as I recall.

The silicone bands are still there, years later, making my left eye intensely myopic. My left eye no longer opens as much as the right eye, giving me that distinguished "pity me, for I have had a stroke" look that the ladies find so appealing.

They used sodium pentothal (truth serum) to put me out for the procedure. When I awoke in the recovery room, everyone there was laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked. "Oh, nothing!" they replied. Then they laughed again.

Later that month, they decided to spot-weld the weak-looking right retina to the back of the eye using 500 laser shots. I was dazzled and momentarily blinded by all bright yellow-green light sizzling my eye ball. Afterwards, I was lost in a purple miasma. When I hesitated standing up after the procedure, the doctor started making fun of my manhood.

Nevertheless, very little pain, so not quite the thing for the dedicated masochist.

I had a similar thing happen (not the eye but the nurses laughing at me).
A number of years ago the docs wanted to look in my stomach in regards to a potential ulcer. In the US they sort of put you out with a similar drug for this procedure. Anyway, one of the nurses was quite pretty and must have had serious back problems caused from carrying around her two massive breasts.

They first give you some drug that is supposed to relax you which makes you high as a kite. I remember that while waiting for the rest of the drugs I was fixating on her breasts.

After the procedure was over and I was waiting to be sober enough to leave, nurses kept looking in the room and laughing really loudly (although I never saw the one with the big breasts again). No one would tell me why but apparently, you talk a lot under whatever drug it was that they gave me.
