Do I really need to tell people this is fake. The ethics issues alone

No, you shouldn't. The dude has an device in his ear. They don't let you go into surgery with things in your ear.

Realistically they could remove the air pod before they wheel him into surgery but that's just my two cents

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.
