In a first for Moorfield’s Eye Hospital, a patient under general anaesthesia today has miraculously stood up and walked out of the operating theatre after realising that their surgeon was wearing Crocs.
Anaesthetist Dr Carol Benzo today said “there are no documented cases of a patient ever having a total spontaneous awakening from general anaesthesia on account of disgust of their surgeon’s chosen footwear.”

The patient in question, Carlos Lagerfeld said “I just couldn’t lie there and let someone wearing Crocs operate on me. It went against everything I believe in. I hope the doctor realises that I’m not trying to criticise him for his clinical skills, I was just repulsed and sickened by his total disregard for fashion. I’m happy to pay for an aesthetist next time so maybe he’ll wear something that doesn’t make him look like he’s a father of 6 at Disneyland.”
The surgeon in question has offered to refer Mr Lagerfeld to a different surgeon “look, I like wearing Crocs and if Lagerfeld doesn’t like that he can get someone else to operate on him. I studied for 15 years and if I want to wear my favourite rubber based animal themed slippers when I operate, so be it”.
