A member asked:
If a patient is asked to count from 20 backwards down to one but starts with "19..18..17" etc does this still count?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The idea is to give the patient something to concentrate on while they are going under. They could count forward as well or cite their name, date of birth/whatever. The specific starting point is irrelevant.
