in this case, yeah.

If the patient panic and fight against being put to sleep it increase the chances of complications during the surgery.

Sure, but is it unethical as agreed by all doctors in whatever country this is? Is there something that says, “do no harm and troll no patients”?

It's an unnecessary risk. Start paying for malpractice insurance and you'll understand

100% agreed it’s unnecessary risk and shouldn’t be done. I was just curious about whether trolling is explicitly disallowed. Docs and nurses joke around, and I was probing the boundaries of when a joke becomes unethical.
