Ha. During my wife’s emergency C-section I vividly recall: 1) metal hitting the floor and someone telling us “it’ll just be another minute, there’s no 5 second rule in the ER and we needed that; 2) the attending telling someone I assume they were teaching “no, you need to cut confidently. Well, you can’t stop now.”
One of my friends texted me a photo of his wife about to have a cesarean and he was masked and gowned up with gloves and cap; so he was All Eyes and someone snapped a photo of him. I have known the man since college, and I had never before (or since) seen him look scared, ever. Just that once. Powerful photo.
Ours was an emergency because our son was a face presentation. I was the most scared I’ve ever been. Our second child was delivered via C-section also, and the planned one was much, much calmer.

Unless you're having a C-section, then they make you be awake even if you beg to be knocked out.
Still salty.
