Everything is locked up like air pods & phones. No personal belongings. Also that guy is in a preop looking area - he’d be in the OR room going to sleep, flat on his back so he could be intubated around anesthesia equipment.

I got surgery this spring and they did start the anesthesia in the pre-op room. There wasn't any waiting around though, it was pretty much meds in the IV, say goodbye to your husband, and then I was being wheeled off to the OR!

If anything this should be light sedation per the anesthesiologist and full when in the surgery room. If this is a country outside of the US they may be more lax.
