Like if i had to go to the hospital and get something pulled out of my foot. Could ask the doctor to give me something
that’ll make me fall asleep and not feel the thing coming out of my foot? I’m worried I have something stuck deep into my foot and it hurts like hell. I have a very low pain tolerance so id much prefer to be asleep when they take it out.

You can ask, but we don’t “knock people out” for minor procedures. They would most likely use a little lidocaine to numb the area.
