Did it, but it was in a helicopter and I didn’t want to miss the ride. The other two times I was completely out in the back of boring ambulances. And, as a medic, they’re safety scissors that are used to tear rather than actually “scissor”.

It’s really strange to suddenly wake-up buck naked with needles in you and being sutured by strange people. Now I just say “dammit, I had another seizure!?” And they say “yup”. It’s becoming a regular thing as I get older.
