They did what?

Back in ‘93 or so, I was injured in a construction accident (12 penny nail to the knee) and had to have orthoscopic surgery. Before the surgery I was drugged up. I never thought about what happened after that until chatting with Clark Venable today. Clark is an anesthesiologist at Penn State, and I asked him if there had been an anesthesiologist present. He said yes, and pointed me to an instructional video (streaming QuickTime) describing the breathing tube they most likely used. Um, wow! They stuck that thing in me? Geez.
