14. Or they can make a procedure pretty scary

I woke up during my 2nd cataract surgery and the anesthesiologist did nothing. Admittedly I couldn't FEEL anything but the surgeon was in the process of opening my eyeball to insert a lens. He also knew I was awake but also did nothing but tell me to not move my eye! It was a truly freaky experience. If that had happened when they did my first eye, I would have been hesitant about the 2nd. Of course I'd have gone through with it, but not until I had a stern 'chat' with the anesthesiologist.
