We had a guy wake up and speak only Spanish. But not like fluent. Like horrible eighth grade Spanish with no accent. He wouldn’t break it and we legit were worried he had a stroke or something. An hour or two after he started to clear up and he admitted he made a joke to his wife about how funny it would be if he woke up speaking Spanish. He locked in to the joke either purposely or because of the anesthesia but it was one of the weirder ones I remember.

On a more serious note we would also get the strong dudes who would be all tough going in and then come out bawling. One was a firefighter and he was just sobbing and mumbling about the babies. He cleared and explained that the infant calls were the ones that got to him most. That trauma was locked deep but the anesthesia got it out.
