I remember my knee surgery, local anesthesia, I was a little nervous at first, even if I couldn't move my legs or feel anything, but I heard the doctor start chatting with the nurses and they also interacted with me.

They where originally called operating theatre, because that is what they where. Decades ago people actually went to watch surgeries and they made specially designed theatres for them. Its less a play on words and more of a sign how old the Simpson's is.

Stuff like this is why, from the very beginning, I chose to study to be a general doctor and not a surgeon. I don’t trust myself, especially when it comes to something super precise.
My doctor actually looks up the things I'm describing off of Google. Like, I might as well have not gone to the doctors and just look up the answer myself at home. And if they're giving me prescriptions after finding the answer off of Google, then that means I'm putting something in my body that my doctor isn't a 100% sure could kill me.
