When I had my surgery I asked if they were going to have me countdown (I didn't realize 10 was the standard so I said "from 100".) My anasthesiologist looked at me really funny. "Do you WANT to?" and I was like "Yes" because that was what my expectations were, damnit. So she shrugged, and said, "Okay start counting then." "99, 98, 97, 9-" and out. Glad she humored me, it was clear she thought it was kind of stupid lol.
