    “We’ll take care of you - this was the stuff that Michael Jackson was on.”

    “…wait what?”

    Reminds me of that time in 1989 when I was a little girl, going under general anesthesia, the last thing the doctor asked me was “Do you like Bill Cosby?”

    Yes read into it all you want. I do. This really happened.

        Well yeah but here’s the thing. In 1989 The Cosby show was at its peak popularity and in 1989 very few people if anyone knew that Bill Cosby had been sedating & raping women in his free time. I was a little girl & watched the cosby show every week on TV, it was a great show portraying a great family, bill seemed like a model father and model citizen, he portrayed a doctor on the show.

        My surgical procedure at the time took place in Long Beach California which isn’t far from Hollywood, and in retrospect, based on that weird question my anesthesiologist asked me just as I was going under,

        I have a feeling that he may have known what Bill Cosby had going on behind the scenes. Because WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE ASKED ME SUCH A CREEPY QUESTION AT SUCH A SPOOKY VULNERABLE MOMENT

        And the only reason I vividly remember him asking me that was because I only had a brief moment to contemplate his question and formulate my thoughts and response, and my first thought was “that’s a weird question but yeah I guess Bill Cosby is a great guy, good TV show” MY DAD EVEN HAD A BILL COSBY BOOK ON HIS BOOKSHELF 🤦‍♀️But all those thoughts took a fraction of a second and I had no time to reply to his question before I went unconscious.
